Review: A BARON IN HER BED by Maggi Andersen

3.5 out of 5 stars

Horatia Cavendish has vowed never to marry. She wants to pursue a literary career like her aunt, that is, until she meets sexy Frenchman Guy Fortescue. Except she doesn't exactly meet him under ideal circumstances. She dresses like a boy and goes out riding her father's spirited stallion (something that a proper young lady should not be doing), when she discovers Guy unconscious in the road after being attacked by ruffians. She can't abandon him so she does the next best thing and helps him to an abandoned cottage. With a raging snowstorm outside, she's forced to spend the night with him. That is the just the beginning of their secrets. Her literary career doesn't look so ideal the more she gets to know Guy. He's handsome, but has secrets of his own.

I enjoyed the antics of Horatia and her habit of making things worse when she's only trying to help. The author does a great job in describing the growing chemistry between Horatia and Guy. While I enjoyed the storyline quite a lot, I was jolted out of the story too many times by the abrupt POV changes, often within the same chapter. There were no section breaks to alert me to a new POV and it took a few moments to figure out who's head we were in. I would have also liked to see a section break or even *** when the story moved from one day to another. All of the text just ran together and it was annoying. Despite this criticism, this is a fun and engaging story, but it could use some editing to give the reader the ultimate reading experience.

I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
