Review:        
I always do enjoy a good historical romance and The Guise of a Gentleman is definitely a good historical romance.  
Even though this is a second book in the series it can be read as a standalone.
Elise is a widowed English lady, determined to raise her son well. However her carefully constructed world is quickly shattered by the arrival of the scandalous rogue Jared Amesbury.  
Elise is a good main character. She’s sweet but she’s also quite brave and gutsy when she needs to. She’s also determined and an all-around good person.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book, especially Jared. He’s all a rogue should be: tortured by some of his actions, charming, a smooth talker and a little bit mischievous. Of course he’s life is not as scandalous as he makes it seem to be, which only makes him an even better character.
I enjoyed reading about the relationship between Jared and Elise. It developed nicely and they truly do make a good couple.
All in all, The Guise Of A Gentleman is a well-written, sweet and interesting book. I really liked the characters and how their relationships developed.
If you are a fan of Historical Romance you should definitely give this book a try!
