An earl hiding from his future . . . Lawrence Browne, the Earl of Radnor, is mad. At least, that's what he and most of the village believes. A brilliant scientist, he hides himself away in his family's crumbling estate, unwilling to venture into the outside world. When an annoyingly handsome man arrives at Penkellis, claiming to be Lawrence's new secretary, his carefully planned world is turned upside down. A swindler haunted by his past . . . Georgie Turner has made his life pretending to be anyone but himself. A swindler and con man, he can slip into an identity faster than he can change clothes. But when his long-dead conscience resurrects and a dangerous associate is out for blood, Georgie escapes to the wilds of Cornwall. Pretending to be a secretary should be easy, but he doesn't expect that the only madness he finds is the one he has for the gorgeous earl. Can they find forever in the wreckage of their lives? Challenging each other at every turn, the two men soon give into the desire that threatens to overwhelm them. But with one man convinced he is at the very brink of madness and the other hiding his real identity, only true love can make this an affair to remember.… (mais)

This gave me Midsummer Moon and True Pretenses vibes but like sweeter, I suppose. ( )

This was vintage Cat Sebastian. something I am declaring after reading only 6 of her many books.

Georgie is such a great character: clever, cynical, astute, caring.

Under Georgie's ministrations as his secretary, Lawrence, Earl of Radnor, gives up his alienation from himself and society and becomes the man Georgie needs.

This is the trope, if it is one, that I'm drawn to most, where the characters save each other. Of course, it is the ultimate romance when each is made whole, and they hear birds singing!

The harmony is never dull however. I can see that Georgie and Lawrence will go on to create even more fantastic inventions, beside the telephone.

This novel, the second in the series, was equal to the first - loved Jack and Oliver's story. However, I didn't recognise the Georgie in that story with the man that appears here. The other George was world weary and unappealing, except for his loyalty to Jack. This Georgie has the depth to be redeemable, by the unlikely Lawrence. ( )

We don't see ourselves objectively. Our motivations and constraints are not always what we think they are.

Each man, Lawrence and Georgie, is certain of his place and his motives, until they meet, come to understand that each sees the other differently, recognize an attraction that in the 1800s was a crime to act on... and it gets complicated from there. The character arcs are organic and compelling. I read this almost straight through. And I will read the one that follows, when it is published. ( )

I liked these two for each other. Their feelings developed nicely throughout the story, and they each brought out the better person in the other, which I appreciate. It has kind of a Beauty and the Beast feel, which is a trope I enjoy as well. ( )

Excellent! Second book in the series is just as strong as the first, and doesn't fall into the trap of becoming formulaic. New characters, with a new situation and new romance. Lovely. ( )

This book grew out of stories I had been telling my children about an inventor who had a giant dog and an anxiety disorder that closely mirrored my own. I probably don’t need to explain that I told my kids these stories to teach them—and maybe remind myself—that love and life are possible even when every fiber of your being wants to be in a pillow fort. This book is for everyone who needs that reminder, from my pillow fort to yours.
