Cloaked in Danger
By: Jeannie Ruesch
Blurb
Aria Whitney has little in common with the delicate ladies of London society. Her famous father made his fortune hunting archaeological treasures, and her rustic upbringing has left her ill-prepared for a life of parties and frippery. But when Gideon Whitney goes missing, Aria must embrace the unknown—armed with only the short list of highborn men who’d backed her father’s venture, she poses as a woman looking for a husband. She doesn’t intend to find one.
Adam Willoughby, Earl of Merewood, finds London’s strangest new debutante fascinating, but when he catches her investigating his family’s secrets, he threatens to ruin her reputation. He doesn’t intend to enjoy it so much.
When their lustful indiscretion is discovered, Adam finds that he regrets nothing. But now, as her father’s enemy draws near, Adam must convince his betrothed that she can trust him with her own secrets…before it’s too late.

“Cloaked in Danger has all the elements readers crave— larger-than-life characters, a vivid and believable setting, heart-pounding romance and just the right amount of mystery. Don’t miss it! It kept me reading deep into the night.”
— New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Novak
My Review
Aria must go into high society to find her father. She isn't looking for a rich husband even if that is what they all think. She has a list of men that may know where her father is and she will do anything to find him. She attracts the eye of Adam when he catches her digging into his family's background. While she intrigues him he never figures he would fall for her. When he ruins her reputation and when they become betrothed he sure didn't figure on wanting more and more of her. However he isn't the only man who wants her and another man will do anything to have her. Her father's enemy has to have her one way or another.
First a warning about this book. Be prepared to be sitting for a while because you can't put it down. Yep that is my warning. Aria is head strong, isn't one to sit by the sidelines and just wait. She goes into danger and will stop and nothing to find her dad even when she is told not to. She is a great and wonderful character that will intrigue you. However I will say she does take turn later in the book and becomes different but for good reason.
I really enjoyed this book so much. Aria doesn't care what others think of her and she shows that by snooping and digging where ever she can and when she can. Adam thinks it will be a simple way to put a stop to her actions but that doesn't happen. These two are a perfect match in every way they just don't see it much for a bit. Aria goes through a horrible time at one part in the book and she fights with everything she has. It really hugely leaves it mark on her. Adam is trying his best to find her and more and more unravels as they hunt for clues. I was surprised a few times in this book and bad to say but I enjoyed that it had it's dark moments and wasn't a fluff book. If you enjoy a story that keeps you turning pages be sure to try this one.

Author Info
Jeannie Ruesch wrote her first story at the age of the six, prompting her to give up an illustrious, hours-long ambition of becoming a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and declare that writing was her destiny. That journey to destiny took a few detours along the way, including a career in marketing and design.
Her first novel, a fairy-tale like historical romance, was published in 2009, but the darker side of life had always captivated her. So after a dinner conversation with friends about the best way to hide a dead body, she knew she had to find a way to incorporate suspense into her writing. (The legal outlet for her fascination.) Today, she continues writing what she loves to read - stories of history, romance and suspense. She lives in Northern California with her husband, their son and an 80 pound lapdog lab named Cooper. She can be visited at www.jeannieruesch.com or found regularly on Twitter or Facebook.
She is also the creator of the WIP Notebook, a writer's tool to help stay organized while you write, which you can find at her website.
