Miss Genevieve Penny and her scientific discovery were meant to be secret, not
something finding its way above stairs.  Jenny Penny had no plans for her cream that
was based on a blend of peppermint essential oils, which caused skin to flush with
youthful vigor.  After all, it was not her stillroom and her employers were unknowingly
buying her supplies.  The cream could solve all of her worries and her dream of
becoming a lady could come true. Now the prank of disguising Jenny, a base-born
lady's maid as a lady of the ton, Lady Genevieve, was the result of that unmistakable
gleam in none other than Jennys employer's eyes.  The two Featherton sisters were
about to stir up a touch of excitement.

Callum Campbell, Sixth Viscount of Argyll, found a beautiful, wide-eyed lady in his
carriage.  The huge Scotsman with the dark brown eyes kept running into this same
Lady Genevieve at every turn.  Jenny, or Lady Genevieve, was juggling her quickly
growing cream business with the social life of the ton and the results could cause
secrets to unfold and more and more lies to be told.

Kathryn Caskie has given us a romp of a Regency era historical romance that will
delight the diehards and convert the fence-walkers.  Do not be worried about the slow
start--the fireworks are fabulous and the story is delightful.  You will find the plot familiar,
but the detours are unique and your expectations will definitely be fulfilled.  Make sure
you add this book to your library, because you will find it a refreshing change of pace.  I
recommend it to all as an excellent read.
