Desperately Seeking Suzanna by Elizabeth Michels

Desperately Seeking Suzanna by Elizabeth Michels.

This is book 2 in the Tricks of the Ton series.

Sue Green sneaks into a country masquerade party with her sister and cousins.  Her cousins decide to give this wallflower a make-over before entering the ball. Trying to get the courage to enter the ball with her new look, Sue over indulges with champagne. 

Sue decides she needs a new name to go with her new look and chooses Suzanna, a lady with no inhibitions. Making their way to the ball, "Suzanna" decides to high-kick her way down the stairs. Unfortunately, she kicks Lord Holden Ellis breaking his nose.  Even with a broken nose, Holden is smitten with "Suzanna" and talks her into helping him into his bedroom to clean up.

Things heat up, but "Suzanna" and Holden are interrupted. They make their way to the ball and enjoy a lovely dance. Holden leaves to get some refreshments. Unfortunately, Sue's mother finds her and makes her take off her "Suzanna" enhancements.  She makes it back to meet Holden, but he doesn't recognize her.  Heartbroken, she fleas back to her cousins' home.

Holden is upset with losing "Suzanna", but find out she will be in London soon.  He travels back to London much sooner than he had planned. He must find his "Suzanna."

At the first ball back in London, Sue is shocked when she sees Holden.  Her shock soon turns to disappointment when Holden asks for her help in find his "Suzanna."

Will Holden ever see that his "Suzanna" is his friend Sue that he finds himself being more and more intrigued with at every meeting?

I give an A++ to Elizabeth Michels for the second book in the Tricks of the Ton series.  While reading the first book in the series, Must Love Dukes, I had already grown to love the character of Holden. 

I loved the interaction that Holden had with Sue.  I always love a feisty heroine, and Michels didn't disappoint. Michels has a way of bringing you into the story and making you feel like the characters are your best friends.  My heart broke right along with Sue's every time Holden didn't see what was right there before him and it was in my throat when Holden thought that Sue was in danger.

Elizabeth Michels is an author that will be at the top of this genre and and can't wait to see what else she has in store for us!
