Title: A dead bore
Product review: Indescribably bad. There is no reason any woman with a semblance of self-respect or sense would even continue talking with the sort of man the hero had proved himself to be. Mary Balogh very prettily made up a past for Jack to give him 'reasons' for behaving the way he does. That is an idiotic and childish device because only a child would whine and make up excuses when caught out in gross misbehavior, a 31-yr old is definitely old enough to get over his father. I cannot myself say that I felt the least attraction towards Jack. As for Diana being jealous of his flirting with other women, I must paraphrase Georgette Heyer, in one of her books she wrote that only a child would be taken in by such behavior, any adult would only be disgusted by it.Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels and Edith Layton's The Duke's Wager deal with much the same plot in a way that is much more mature and interesting.Unlike The Plumed Bonnet or the Famous Heroine, this book was definitely a miss.
