A determined young miss, a battle-weary lord, and a reckless masquerade. More Than She Bargained For: Danielle Galloway is determined to visit her convalescing brother. She won’t let her father’s lack of permission stand in her way. Disguising herself as Danny, a servant boy, she takes to the road to begin her grand adventure...only to have her money stolen and her face battered by street ruffians. Now how will she get to the resort town of Bath? More Than He Bargained For: The Earl of Trelaine rescues a down-on-his-luck young lad. Against his better judgment, he takes Danny on as his page as he journeys to Bath. But this boy harbors a shocking secret. What’s the earl going to do when he discovers his latest act of kindness might hurl him into the parson’s mousetrap?

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Danielle is a character that you can't help but to be drawn to.  She is so desperate to reach her ailing brother and care for him, that she will do anything—including putting herself in danger and risk ruining herself to do it. 

Her drama along the way was amusing.  Everything that could go wrong, did. 
Edward became a welcomed surprise in her life, for when she became a victim of the streets, he was there to pick her up and care for her. Even though neither of them knew it or wanted to admit it, they were falling in love, and it was funny because Edward really shouldn't have under the circumstances.

PAGING MISS GALLOWAY was never boring, Danielle is always going from one place to another. Not your typical petticoat wearing debutante, she is a girl who gets an idea in her head and runs with it.

This was not a long story, which gave me more incentive to read it fast to see how the ending turned out.  I was not disappointed.
