Did not like the female character Selina. She is frustratingly feeble and whiny. She will do just what pleases everyone else around her, doesn’t have a backbone and can’t fight for herself. I sincerely doubt she has a brain or that she knows what she wants. Irritated to the maximum with this outer...

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The Dasher/The Duke/The guy whose name appears only once in the entire book is a self-important asshole who thinks he is God's gift to the world. He is bored with women and insists he will never marry because women do not keep his interest. And no, he isn't ...

Sexist and ideal to the very core, half the time I wanted to clobber the heroine (Simonetta) because she was so virginal and unaware of how the real world works that I cannot imagine how she would have acted in her wedding night.

The Scent of Roses is just one of such books. There's enough in...

This one just might be my favorite BC story out there, it has all that I like (and all that I don't) in BC stories, nice dose of intrigue (not too much, though, it's not romantic suspense after all), a naive heroine, a rakish hero that doesn't know what hit him, a villain lusting after the heroine.....
