Amazon.com review:
5.0 out of 5 stars Bright New Voice in Historical Romance
By Paige ( Electively Paige) on January 19, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
Having been a huge fan of this author’s works under her paranormal pen name of Eileen Sheehan, I was so ready to see what she did with Historical Romance in Love Misunderstood, as this is a genre I am a huge fan of, especially as of late. I am pleased to report that I found the book to be quite the enjoyable read, and it actually took a few turns I wasn’t quite expecting. I knew I loved the author’s style of writing because of her prior work, but this still managed to stand out and be different. I look forward to her further work in this particular genre, because I feel it’s one where she really stands out. If you like her work as Eileen Sheehan, give this a try if you want to try something new. If you’re a fan of historical romance, then this book is definitely one you’ll want to check out.

She made her way down the darkened alley between buildings constructed in such a way that the brilliant moon beams did not stand a chance of illuminating it. Her face laden with oversized spectacles distorting her vision and suffering from a mild case of night blindness, she did her best to steer clear of the multitude of hazardous obstacles cluttering the taxing and never ending journey to her destination.
Elizabeth wished she dared remove the cumbersome wire rimmed spectacles assaulting the bridge of her delicate nose and prominent cheekbones. Finding her way through the poorly lit streets in the dark haze of predawn London was difficult enough without being encumbered by blurred vision. They were not even her glasses. Her vision was perfect. She secretly snatched them from the estate overseer’s desk just before departing to help with her disguise. Since the spindly old man kept a variety of vision assistance, from wire rimmed glasses to magnifying lenses, she doubted he would miss them.
The frame of the pair she hastily selected transformed her striking aristocratic beauty into what could only be described as common and mousy. With the hood of her unlined, coarsely woven gray woolen cloak pulled low about her oval face and the oversized glasses there was little left exposed. She felt confident she would attract minimal attention from any curious onlookers she may encounter at this hour.
Elizabeth pulled her cloak tighter around her slender body, ignoring its rough assault on her tender flesh. Although the prickly fabric was not something she was accustomed to, she far preferred enduring its rough touch to the bitter wind whipping through the abandoned alley. It felt abnormally cold for this time of year. Or, maybe it was not the weather. Maybe the weather was normal and she was colder than usual for another reason.
