UnfortunatelyI read this because I was curious about a historical in which a peer actually has to get involved in the management of their properties. Unfortunately this was not the right book for that trope. The MMC in this book was so dumb and out of touch that I couldn't like him. The heroine was a bit annoying too, I didn't really see any reason to like her, especially since she was acting childish at times. Overall, I can't say I enjoyed this book much, but I am willing to consider it a "me" issue. The separation at the end made absolutely no sense. ...more

Fanny is very appropriately named, because she is a huge ass. She marries a guy that made all the efforts to be a dedicated husband and yet she keeps acting like an idiot when it comes to sex. I don't have the patience to continue, there is NOTHING redeemable about her and the guy is a doormat....more

After reading several of the others, I figured I should read Quinn's story - and I was severely disappointed. The heroine is a sanctimonious do-gooder and Quinn is completely uninteresting. I was so frustrated by the lack of communication between the members of the family that I considered DNF-ing a couple of times. Also, the repeated references to the pregnancy gave me a severe ick. It's a good thing I didn't start with this one, because I wouldn't have continued with the series. ...more

For some reason, it's exactly how I picture the British talking during that time period and she's the first one I encountered that used it. I have read other historicals written by British authors but they use a lot of the current style of prose. I also loved that the relationship between the hero and heroine made sense - it annoys me greatly when some guy falls for a girl just because she's pretty. These two actually interacted enough to develop feelings for each other. Excellent book, I will try some other to see if it's a fluke or not. ...more

I didn't like the story at all - there was nothing charming about Eleanor and the male character was awful. I don't think I found even one nice character in the entire story - they were all caricatures of good guys and bad guys, no subtlety, no shades of gray. I don't like this author's style. ...more
