Zia is a Duke's daughter, a diamond of the season and lives a secret life. She reads controversial books, attends school, fences and robs wealthy men of the ton to try and save an orphanage. Zia and her friends, The Lady Knights, as they call themselves, are trying to make a difference in their community while finding their voices in a world that is determined for them. No one knows what they are up to until her brother's best friend, a handsome rogue, finds out and inserts himself in every way, into Zia's life.
This is a clean, Regency romance for teenagers. I like that Zia bucks the trend whenever she can, and that her mother is a strong female role model to her and others; however, at times, I felt myself rolling my eyes at the obvious "women can do anything" undertone of some scenes. It was a fun, playful story with just enough romance and intrigue. Overall, it is an enjoyable book and would be a great introduction to Regency romance books for young adults.
