Book Description:
It isn't easy moving about Society dressed like a dandy-especially when one is a ruthless spy. But that's precisely the latest mission for Liar's Club agent Dalton Montmorecy. Dalton is posing as Sir Thorogood, the elusive cartoonist whose scathing political caricatures have all of London abuzz. The true identity of Sir Thorogood is a mystery, and Dalton hopes that impersonating him will flush out the real menace before his cartoons do further damage to the Crown. Now, if Dalton could only find a way to get the irksome, yet oddly appealing widow, Clara Simpson, off his trail...

When Clara meets Sir Thorogood at a ball, she's certain he is an impostor-because she's the true Sir Thorogood. Secretly penning the cartoons under the frothy nom de plume, Clara hopes to save enough money so that she can leave her in-laws and find a new residence. Now she is determined to reveal an imposter's identity-and that means doing some undercover work herself. But pretending to be someone you're not has a funny way of making a woman do things she wouldn't ordinarily dream of-even if it drives her straight into the arms of her devilishly handsome adversary!

Love, love, love this series. Hot romance, great humor, suspenseful plots - it's pretty much exactly what any woman needs on her shelf for rainy days. 'The Imposter' is the second book in The Liar's Club series, featuring a group of men working as undercover agents for the Crown (and the Royal Four, but that's a whole other series). The main cast of characters interact with each other throughout the whole series, so it does help to read them more or less in order.

Clara Simpson (mentioned in passing in 'The Pretender') is leading a secret life as satirical political cartoonist Sir Thorogood. Unfortunately, one of her cartoons has caught the notice of the government, and Dalton Montmorency, Lord Etheridge, has been assigned to impersonate Sir Thorogood in order to bring the real artist out into the open. Unfortunately for Dalton, another organization is out to eliminate Sir Thorogood, which makes him the public target. Clara is angry that Dalton is taking credit for her own work and sets out to make him an object of ridicule. They can't stand each other.

Meanwhile, the two of them meet and fall in love under separate circumstances while sneaking around investigating Clara's neighbor. They like each other quite a lot. Lots of subterfuge, confusion, violence, and falling in love result. As usual, Bradley does an excellent job balancing humor and action between a set of very enjoyable characters.

Second book in the series, some funny scenes with the spy playing the fop.

I couldn't put it down! Stayed up half the night to finish this one. A bit of humor, a bit of romance, and of course a mystery to solve!
