intelligent and funny
This is one of my favorite Anthea Malcolm books. The heroine is smart, resourceful, and unusual. The characters come to life, and the denouement makes sense. In addition, the book is definitely written with Malcolm's usual sense of humor. I strongly recommend it.
overblown and overdone....
This large (350 pages) regency had an interesting premise-3 country genteel sisters, alone after their fathers passing, need to go to the season to get middle, beautiful sister Claudia married off, but no chaperone-so oldest, plain sister Livia pretends to be a young widow so she can chaperone them. That's where the fun ends with this book.
Unfortunately, this book was plagued with too many secondary characters introduced-literally over a dozen!-which causes the hero and heroine to have one page of interaction in the first 70 pages! Not only is there no romance in this Regency there is no communication either! I quit in disgust at that point as the merry go round of secondary characters was giving me a headache.
Save your money and skip this poorly written book
no stars.
