Genie screws up her debut in front of the Queen and is branded an outcast. Genie blames Will Grant for screwing up her big moment. Really, it was Lord Chamberlin's gut distress that is to blame - yep, this Regency romance starts with a prologue dedicated to a fart joke. Her aunt and mentor decides...
3,5 starsAs far as soapy historical romances go, this one actually had a believable intrigue. Points for mentioning the France-England dispute.Eugenia was so naive it hurt. After a while, I couldn't stand her self-loathing thoughts anymore. But Grant (her love interest) managed to gain my praise. He...
Eugenia, at her presentation to the queen of England, ends up laughing at the worst moment, but when she sees William Grant being amused she can't help but have laughing fits, and a great scandal erupts, and now Eugenia is ruined. Its all over the Ton, the newspapers, and beyond. So her only recours...
I gave this a C+ at AAR, so 3.5 stars here. When I started A Wedding in Springtime, I thought it could be a fun, light read. The comic timing of some of the scenes was delightful and I enjoyed the repartee between the leads. However, things got way too silly for me partway through, and the story dra...
An enjoyable romp. The characters are vividly drawn from Eugenia, who bobbles her presentation to the queen, to Penelope, the soon-to-be spinster sister of four celebrated beauties. The men are equally impressive, from Grant, her reluctant suitor, to the Duke of Marchford with his scheming grandmoth...
3 starsI did enjoy this book only that I didn't enjoy it immensely. The story is a bit dull although sometimes, sweet. Even though with the emphasis on hero, William Grand and heroine, Eugenia Talbot, this book has many characters that somehow are very important. These characters are connected to ea...

Very, very, did I mention very light read? I've recently read some novellas which I criticized as being too light and lacking of characterization because of their briefness. A Wedding in Springtime is a full-length novel that could easily have been a novella length book if it had only stuck with the...
A Wedding in Springtime is the first book by Ms. Forester that I have read. For the most part, I enjoyed the book. It's a sweet romance with likable characters. There is even a little intrigue thrown into the mix. I always have a love/hate relationship with Regency romances. I love them because ...
A Wedding in Springtime opens with such a meet-cute moment for characters Genie Talbot and William Grant that I was charmed almost from the get go. How many books would dare have their main characters glance across a ballroom to share a laugh over flatulence? But that was exactly the scandalous mome...
