"A laugh out loud Regency rompif you loved the Bridgertons, you'll adore To Have and to Hoax!" Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author
In this fresh and hilarious historical rom-com, an estranged husband and wife in Regency England feign accidents and illness in an attempt to gain attentionand maybe just win each other back in the process.
Five years ago, Lady Violet Grey and Lord James Audley met, fell in love, and got married. Four years ago, they had a fight to end all fights, and have barely spoken since.
Their once-passionate love match has been reduced to one of cold, detached politeness. But when Violet receives a letter that James has been thrown from his horse and rendered unconscious at their country estate, she races to be by his sideonly to discover him alive and well at a tavern, and completely unaware of her concern. She's outraged. He's confused. And the distance between them has never been more apparent.
Wanting to teach her estranged husband a lesson, Violet decides to feign an illness of her own. James quickly sees through it, but he decides to play along in an ever-escalating game of manipulation, featuring actors masquerading as doctors, threats of Swiss sanitariums, faux mistressesand a lot of flirtation between a husband and wife who might not hate each other as much as they thought. Will the two be able to overcome four years of hurt or will they continue to deny the spark between them?
With charm, wit, and heart in spades, To Have and to Hoax is a fresh and eminently entertaining romantic comedyperfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and Julia Quinn.

Martha Waters' debut "To Have and to Hoax" is a fun and light-hearted rom-com set in the early 1800s.
When Violet and James are found in a compromising position at a ball they are pretty much forced to get married in order to prevent a scandal. Fast forward five years and they are still together, but haven't really talked to each other in four years. When James is badly hurt, Violet realizes that she does in fact still care for her husband after all this time. In order to make him see the same, she feigns an illness of her own and a game of them trying to one-up each other ensues.
The beautiful cover art intrigued me right away and after reading the blurb I simply had to read this book.
As I expected, it is a very fun and light-hearted read and I also love the setting.
The characters are enjoyable as well, but I will say that they have a tendency to get on one's nerve at times. Violet and James are very proud, stubborn and oftentimes extremely childish characters, which makes them and the situation they find themselves in appear as silly as it is entertaining.
Some of the side characters are quite interesting and the setup of novel makes me think that some of them might get their own books. Personally, I'd love to read more about Diana and Jeremy.
I recommend "To Have and to Hoax" to fans of historical romance novels.
