Title: a teenage romance
Product review: Diane Farr writes in her usual elegant style, but quite wastes her talents in a teenage romance set, for some inexplicable reason, in the regency period (not that we see much of it besides the dresses). The two main protagonists meet and quarrel their way towards marriage, and while this is amusingly written (if a bit repetitive), I was often quite bored with their antics. It is hard to believe that Drake is in his late twenties, and Lilah of age (21 at least), because throughout the book they are depicted as so incredibly self-centered and stupidly immature that I found nothing whatsoever to empathize with - one of the joys I expect from reading a romance. As I said, this might have been more acceptable had Diane Farr written a teenage romance between a 19-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl and marketed it as such.
