![]() ![]() ![]() We can handle this, this is fine, we will find you an attractive rich woman to marry and you will be set for life! ![]() RAFE: I am ready to go straight and stop swindling people. It starts off kind of Brothers Bloom, with Ash and his brother Rafe, con artists extraordinaire: Guys, I really, really liked True Pretenses. The other day I was trying to explain to innerbrat why I stayed up until 3 AM reading Rose Lerner's True Pretenses.īECCA: OK, so the hero of this Regency novel is a JEWISH CON ARTIST, and he and the heroine bond over the fact that she's an upper-class woman who politely gets things done and there are a lot of ways in which being an upper-class woman who manages to get things done within the rules of propriety in Regency England is BASICALLY LIKE being a con artist! And the other thing they bond over is the fact that they both have younger brothers that they mostly raised from when they were small, and now both of their brothers want to go off and have their own lives, and their older siblings are not ready to let them go be adults, so they have shared sibling issues!ĭEBI: I would say this book had 'Becca-bait' written all over it, except: is there cross-dressing? ![]()
