Title: Desperately Seeking Suzanna (Tricks of the Ton #2)

Author: Elizabeth Michels

Genre: Regency Romance

Published: March 4, 2014

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sue Green was always the plain wallflower at the ball until one masquerade at the beginning of her last season. It was a night where she was Suzanna instead of Sue. When the night was over Holden was left asking Sue for help finding the vanished Suzanna.

The characters were not completely consistent. One example was Holden who had the reputation of being a rake, which was supported by the first meeting between the two main characters. Then he spent the rest of the book looking for one girl who he had a fleeting moment with. Sue's sister and cousins were likable romantics when they were with Sue. When they were with anyone else they were coy, flirtatious and irritating.

It was nice the problems the characters faced were different than most books of this type. Mainly the mothers and the troubles they caused. Sue's mother threatened to ship her off to another country and Holden's mother was completely insane.

A little over two thirds the way through the book I did get bored. The characters started saying the same things over and over. The redundancy became annoying.

That being said the story was fun fluff. I did enjoy the romance between Holden and Sue and I would be open to reading the rest of the series.

Overall I gave this book 3 stars out of 4.
