When I started reading, Otherwise Engaged I found myself getting sucked into the story. There is a lot going on in the book, but you realize it's all tied together. You start to connect the dots, but you don't see all the dots connecting to till the end. By the end you're like whoa what the heck just happen and you see the puzzle come together. Otherwise Engaged has more a mystery/suspense feel to it, than romance. Yes, there's a little romance, but Benedict and Amity are kind of concern about catching the bad guys. Honestly, I loved the twist and turns in the plot. I thought I had it figured out, but then there's a curve ball.
Honestly, blown away by Otherwise Engaged. I would never in a million years guess on the ending. Overall, a fantastic read. Yes, suspenseful and will keep you guessing. A dash of romance, but not overly done. I think the amount of romance was perfect for the story. So, if you are looking for a bit more suspense/mystery than romance, I would say Otherwise Engaged is your read.

This book is a delightful confection that I devoured in a day. It's a bit of historical mystery mixed with a romance. The heroine is well-traveled but innocent while the hero is an engineer who'd rather talk about inventions than spout poetry. They share an adventure and fall in love. It's a perfect book if you're just looking for something fun.

Miss Amnity Doncaster is definitely an Amelia Peabody of Elizabeth Peters stories type of woman. She is a globe trotting, independent woman with a wicked fan. A monster killer, the bridegroom, so named because he leaves photos of his victims in a wedding dress in a locket around their necks, is stalking London's streets. He kidnaps Amnity, but she is the only one to escape being killed. With the help of Benedict Stanbridge, a man she rescued and nursed back to health, they discover and track down the murderous fiend. Good mystery.
