The Lady Travelers Guide to Deception with an Unlikely Earl (Lady Travelers Society Series #3)

by Victoria Alexander

Overview

Set sail for love in this sparkling new adventure in #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander’s Lady Travelers Society series.

Harry Armstrong has spent years in Egypt, recovering relics and disregarding rules. Now he’s back in England with a new title and a new purpose: penning his exploits. But his efforts are overshadowed by London’s favorite writer about Egypt—a woman they call The Queen of the Desert, of all things. Worse, her stories—serialized in newspapers and reprinted in books—are complete rubbish.

Miss Sidney Honeywell didn’t set out to deceive anyone. It’s not her fault readers assumed her Tales of a Lady Adventurer in Egypt were real! Admitting her inadvertent deception now would destroy her reputation and her livelihood. But when the Earl of Brenton challenges her to travel to Egypt to prove her expertise, accompanied by his dashing, arrogant nephew, what choice does she have but to pack her bags?

With the matchmaking founders of the Lady Travelers Society in tow, Harry is determined to expose Sidney’s secret. But the truth might not be as great a revelation as discovering that love can strike even the most stubborn of hearts.

Editorial Reviews

★ 11/19/2018
Alexander continues her celebration of multigenerational female bravado and intensifies the complexity of this delightfully over-the-top series through a fantastical Egyptian travelogue, and playfully praises the value of telling a good adventure tale through its imaginative, fiction-writing female lead. The newspaper that publishes Miss Sidney Gordon Honeywell’s successful serial, “Tales of a Lady Adventurer in Egypt,” has encouraged its readers’ impression that the fanciful stories are based on her own experiences, but her grandmother’s diaries are the real source. Harry Armstrong, with a sheaf of unpublishably tedious accounts of his Egyptian travels and an unexpected new title, challenges her to a trip to Egypt to prove her expertise, which she accepts, accompanied by a reporter and the three enthusiastic widows of the Lady Travelers Society. Sidney’s enchanting optimism and self-assurance lead Harry to shift his focus from exposing her falsehoods to protecting her as she continues her grandmother’s search for a rare artifact. His natural charm and the old ladies’ social manipulations seed their romance, leaving the reader happily imagining the couple’s future adventure beyond the pages of the book’s finale. (Nov.)
