'Secrets of a Proper Lady' by Victoria AlexanderSecrets of a Proper Lady (Last Man Standing #3)
by Victoria Alexander
My rating: 1 star (DNF)

Book Summary:
Lady Cordelia Bannister refuses to wed the man she has not chosen herself, no matter what her father decrees. So, pretending to be her own companion, she seeks out information about the designated groom by meeting with his secretary — a man who soon beguiles her. But Lady Cordelia doesn’t know the truth — the man she can’t resist is really her intended, Daniel Sinclair.

04/30. . .42.0% DNFing at 42%. Finally giving up on this one when the author had the heroine, who is supposed to be an experienced travel writer with articles being published in all the British papers and magazines, call the Great Exhibition of 1851 the Great Exposition. This isn’t the only problem with this book, but it is the one that finally gave me the excuse I needed to stop forcing myself to try to finish it.
