This was a cute, short Regency romance that was a lot of fun. Eugenia comes to stay with her socially superior cousins the Turvilles. Her aunt has schemed to have one of her sons marry Eugenia for her money. When Eugenia gets wind of this shortly before she arrives, she decides to defend herself by acting like a true "country cousin," brash, ill-spoken, and forward, with the most annoying accent she can muster. It works. Her aunt is horrified. Meanwhile, Eugenia starts to develop feelings for a handsome neighbor. Trying to sustain her dual personalities becomes something of a challenge; also, she discovers that there is more to her cousins than meets the eye.
A very entertaining, easy read! I thought it was funny and I liked that Eugenia's cousins Aubrey and Francis have a little more depth than is first suspected.

The scheming Turvilles never liked each other. Lady Turville has a niece who comes to visit. Since Eugenia's family is in trade, they don't believe she's good enough to marry someone of the ton, but since she is so very rich, she might do for one of her sons. Eugenia or Ginny as she likes to be called, hears Francis Turville and Peter, his friend talking about her. When she gets to her aunt's house, she decides to pretend to be the most uncouth person that she can be, even speaking with an unacceptable accent. Once she is there for a while, people start to figure out that it is all an act. Peter Martyn, the friend and neighbor and Ginny have definitively noticed each other. Then Lucilla, a widow and Peter's former betrothed, who thru him over for another man. She wants Peter back and will be underhanded and try to cause problems to get him.. This is a great story with likeable characters. I received this book from Net Galley and Sapere Books for a honest review. I voluntarily read this book.
