Miss Celia Fitzgilbert’s grandfather has decreed she must marry a man with a title or he’ll never reveal her mysterious father’s identity. But her engagement to an Earl was already broken, leaving her steeped in scandal. She has all but given up until the reclusive Duke of Clairemont returns to Society and sweeps her off her feet, a potential solution to all her problems.

But things are not so simple for the duke. Aiden is not comfortable with his position in Society, perhaps because he is a fraud. In truth, Clairemont died months ago and the man playing him is a spy, bent on uncovering a dangerous secret. A flirtation with Celia, meant to help him fit in, quickly turns very real. But can Celia recover when the lies come out? And can Aiden keep them both alive long enough to even consider a future?

    A Spring Deception, Book 2 of the Seasons series, was about Miss Celia Fitzgilbert and Mr. John Dane, aka His Grace Aiden Alexander Charles Morland Waring, the 16th Duke of Clairemont. Masquerading as the Duke of Clairemont in order to find out who murdered said Duke and to infiltrate the late nobleman's contacts, John was told to court Celia in order to safely and secretly navigate the ton so he could make inquiries into acquaintances of the dead man. John, while investigating the murder of the real Duke, met and fell in love with Celia, even though he knew they could never be together once the truth came out. Celia also fell in love with the "Duke". The danger in the story was a bit muted and...surreal, almost as if the author wasn't quite certain how to make it believable. The angst and drama were minuscule at best. The passion was...tame, but evident. There was little to no humor, and any other emotions were bland. The ending was disappointing and secrets that started in the first book still remained a secret in this book as well. The author left so much unsaid and undone that it felt like a cliffhanger. I can't say I enjoyed this book. It was hard to read, like trying to walk through quicksand but sinking instead of moving forward. Definitely not a five-star book.
