3.5 Stars
I positively LOVE Tessa Dare, but this was not my favorite
of her books. It was still above average
and I look forward to the next book in the series. In fact, I have pre-ordered it. I think one of my least favorite aspects of
it is that the main character, Izzy is constantly referring to how unattractive
she is. It matters very little to the
hero (Ransome, the Duke of Rothbury), but nevertheless, firstly I prefer my
heroines to be pretty. I don’t want to
read a romance book about someone unattractive.
I have enough of dealing with real life, I read for the adventure, for
the escape. Everyone likes a main character they can identify with and I
personally don’t WANT to identify
with someone who is ugly. I liked the
rest of the character development.
I absolutely loved that Izzy’s father had created this cult
of followers of his writings that were quite fantastical. I loved the nerdiness of this group of
people. It was quite endearing.
Izzy receives a letter from a man that claims that she has
been left a castle. Only upon arriving
she finds the castle is being lived in and it is derelict. What ensures is a quite amusing tale of the
current resident of the castle (the Duke) trying to oust Izzy and Izzy being
certain she is the rightful owner.
