Title: Not a bad book, would have liked the heroine less remorseful
Review: I agree, this book is has some problems with the pace and plotting. But most readers seem to be bothered by the fact that the heroine is (or was) an unrepentant fortune hunter.Why is it that we can accept any sort of vile, disgusting behavior from male characters in the name of "historical accuracy", ("men behaved like that in those days!") but a woman who wants to marry for financial security is an evil *bleep*?What do readers expect a Regency gentlewoman with no money to do, start a dot.com business?I just wish that Ms. Simpson had not "softened" Belle up by making her mother the puppeteer pulling her daughter's strings.
