About this ebook
In this irreverent regency romp by New York Times best-selling author Sophie Jordan, newly minted sixteen-year-old Primrose Ainsworth finds herself on a wayward birthday adventure through London with a mysterious hero—perfect for fans of My Lady Jane.
The youngest of four daughters, Primrose Ainsworth is used to getting lost in the shuffle. But when her parents decide to delay her debut into English society, Prim hatches a plan to go rogue on the night of her sixteenth birthday.
Donning a mask, Prim escapes to the infamous Vauxhall Gardens for one wild night. When her cover is nearly blown, a mysterious stranger intercedes, and Prim finds an unexpected partner in mischief . . . and romance. But when it’s revealed her new ally isn’t who he says he is, her one night of fun may last past dawn.
In this frothy regency romp perfect for fans of Austen-esque flirtation and Shakespearean hijinks, sometimes a little scandal can be a good thing.

When her parents refuse to allow Primrose to come out as promised on her sixteenth birthday, she rebels. She sneaks out that night and goes to Vauxhall Gardens with her BFF. The two get separated during a tavern brawl, and Prim ends up under the protection of a handsome, mysterious stranger. Falling into one adventure after another, can Prim keep her identity secret and her reputation intact? To compare this YA Regency romp to Austen and Shakespeare is a bit overdone, but it does bear some similarities with the movie Sixteen Candles. It's would probably be educational and a bit of fun for young teen readers new to the genre. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
