More Words: Either I'm sick of Regency, or Patricia Veryan is not Georgette Heyer. Clue, I'm not sick of Heyer. Two things I didn't like- first our lady has to beg her hero to marry her ad nauseum and he refuses on the most feeble of pretexts. Second- an unfaithful wife won't consent to a divorce? When does a Regency Lady ever have any choice in this matter?
Synopsis: Miss Euphemia's carriage accident forces her to accept hospitality in the home of a rake. They fall in love, but he wont marry her because... And her brother falls in love with the Rake's sister, but he wont marry her because...
Rate: 1 betrothal
