"Isobel Linton keeps 'False Pretences' moving with her superior characters. If you like reading dialogue, then you'll enjoy reading this dialogue-studded tale. Three stars." --Affaire de Coeur. . . . . . . "The talented Isobel Linton keeps us rapidly turning the pages to reach the happy ending of 'False Pretences', the engaging romance of a beautiful heiress on the run from a greedy stepfather trying to force her into marriage with his rascally nephew. Surely they will never look for her in the household of a handsome duke, who finds his plans for a marriage of convenience totally disrupted by his unexpected attraction to his new maid. . . Ms. Linton succeeds quite nicely in making this difficult plot credible in this stylishly written tale." --Romantic Times
