Read This Review & More Like It At Ageless Pages Reviews It's a shame that a book with such a clever, unique blurb turned out so bog standard. Every HR trope appears to have been tossed into a blender and spat out into a plodding, confusing mess. Including, but not limited to, the following: Gam...

I got about a third of the way through this book before giving up and tossing it on the DNF pile. My complaints are many. First, the writing style is weirdly florid and pretentious, full of rambling metaphors that serve no purpose. The sun, like a playwright with all the winding threads of his im...

Different. Seriously mixed feelings about the heroine. I liked the hero and how he was determined to try and catch her. It seemed like everyone except for her best friend, her elderly aunt, the hero and his friends were evil and small minded. I don't think I liked the broad brush painting of ever...

Sophie was sure a different sort of heroine and even if she regretted it later, I sure loved that she placed an add for a man in a paper. She had spirit.Sophie is turning 30 soon, she has an annoying sister-in-law, she has a scar which other young lady says ruins her, and she caused a great scandal ...

Sophia Valentine did not expect anyone to answer the ad for a husband she put in the local gazette. She put the ad in there out of frustration after another argument with her sister-in-law. Scarred in an accident and 29 years old, she assumes she will never get married. So she is very surprised when...

I really, really, really wanted to love this one. It wasn't about a love affair between members of the aristocracy, but rather two commoners just trying to find the one person what would make them truly happy. But this one fell a little short for me.Sophie Valentine might as well walk around town ...

My first thought at the title? “Hmm, what did Sophie do?”Then I saw the ad –Wanted: one husband, not too particular. Small dowry, several books, sundry furnishings, and elderly aunt included. Idlers, time-wasters, and gentlemen with other attachments need not apply.”Oh yes, most improper indeed!When...

When I read a Regency novel, I want two things to be clear from the start. The first is that it is set in Regency England. The second is that this is a book that is set in Austen's time, but that is not taking all the characters from Austen's novels and making a mockery of them. Unfortunately, The M...
