Scent of Jasmine - Jude Deveraux

From Amazon.com
Deveraux adds a delightful historical romance to her Edilean series when Catherine “Cay” Harcourt from Virginia visits her godfather T. C. in Charleston. Her family hobnobs with the likes of Thomas Jefferson as T. C. convinces her to help rescue a condemned prisoner on her way to a ball. Scottish immigrant Alex McDowell is a self-made man who thought he had many friends in Charleston until his bride was found dead the morning after the ceremony. All Alex knows is that he was drugged. When Cay arrives with a horse for Alex, the two escape together when the rescue goes awry. Keeping to his original plan of joining an expedition in the wilds of Florida, they travel only as fast as the news of the escape, forcing Cay to don boy’s clothes and pretend to be Alex’s brother. As love blooms, their future looks bleak unless they can find out what really happened to Alex’s wife. Deveraux creates an involving tale that will appeal to old and new fans. --Patty Engelmann
Apparently I'm in a historical kind of mood lately. I think it's because I think of cowboys when I think of Cav Scouts :) Anywho, this was a fun books. Cay's humor was quite up my alley. I liked the premise, I liked where it went. I loved the way they made up, it was all around good. It was a quick read, it was enjoyable. This is my second Jude Deveraux book and I think I'll try her some more. It was pleasant.
