It’s the latter half of the 1820s and I’m supposed to believe that a duchess can be an actress on the stage. How stupid is she? As for the passion Julia suddenly exhibits? No, Kleypas hasn’t given me any reason to believe that Julia/Jessica is so carried away with passion that she’ll give in to Damon. Even if the “marriage” had validity, as soon as it’s consummated, they can’t get an annulment. Oh please, Julia thinks she can give in to him, make love to him with no consequences. Then there’s the overly dramatic writing…talk about a drama queen. There is no legal precedent outside of royalty for marrying a four-year-old off to a seven-year-old and having it be valid. What a load of crap! Kleypas uses the flimsiest pretext for her conflict between the never-met husband and wife. The couple focus is on Damon, Lord Savage, and his never-met wife, Julia Hargate. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor, Rainshadow Road, Dream Lake, Crystal Coveįirst in the Capital Theatre historical romance series revolving around Scott Logan’s theatre. Historical romance in a paperback edition that was published by Avon Publications on Octoand has 377 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
