A lively historical set in Elizabethan England with veiled references to Shakespeare's comedies. Sebastian, an actor who plays female roles gets roped into helping his family and masquerades as his sister, Bronwyn, and marries an earl. Loved Sebastian though I found him to be a bit of a doormat. Anthony the earl was quite the bisexual slut and I am not sure I believe his love for Sebastian. I had a hard with the acceptance on the part of many who both knew about the charade and the clearly illegal relationship between the two. But did enjoy the book and read the next in the series. ★★★☆☆Light and fluffy after reading a somewhat depressing book for the last couple of days and this fit the bill. Reminded me of the 70's romance novels where the mf have to marry in some contrived situation and this was the 21st century's version with Sebastian an actor impersonating his twin sister in a marriage with Anthony, Earl of Crofton. Anthony likes boys and girls so he's fine with Sebastian's impersonation.Shakespeare plays a role throughout and Sebastian and Anthony stumble along to their HEA with the usual misunderstandings and communication mishaps in these type of romances. Suffice it to say, Seb and Anthony get their man.
What do You think about The Actor And The Earl (2012)?
Can't remember it but I know I've read it.
