Title: Not Up to Par for The Demanding Reader (Court Duel)
Product review: *sigh* I wanted to like this book. I enjoyed "Crown Duel" and wanted to follow our feisty Countess on her adventure, but alas, she turned out to be a one-trick pony. By which I mean that all the drama is based on her persistently being suspicious of the man she was obviously destined to fall in love with. (These are books in the Romance genre so that was evident from the start.)Even so, I read and read, and then scanned and scanned, and finally just blew off a few pages here, and there, until I jumped to end and said... fine, back to the library with you.My advice: if you AREN'T an old lady, like me, that's more demanding of a book .AND. you enjoyed "Crown Duel" a lot, then give this one a try. But know that while Mel learns some history and manners, she hasn't become any more sophisticated when it comes to knowing who to trust and who to avoid.
