Countess Confidential
Author: Barbara Dawson Smith
Dear Reader, — This is the story of how I, a penniless upstart, became a countess. — I never set out to be the heroine in a romantic tale of derring-do.

This was an interesting read. A historical romance, yes...but you get sucked in to the story as if you were at the elbow of the heroine. Now, I might add, the ending was spectacular, so any boredom before the last 3 - 6 chapters is brushed out of your mind. You will love the ending, and the rest of the story builds up well to it, even if at some points it was dull or repetitive. Enjoy this read though, because the underlying story is beautiful :) And, you'll never believe "whodunnit"!!

I so enjoy reading about heroines who attempt to shape their on lives. In Countess Confidential, the Heroine goes so far as to try and solve a crime. So she must be clever and resourceful as well as charming enough not to raise the suspections of others. A good read.
