Title: Very disappointing
Review: This book is a sequel (middle book in a trilogy) to TO MARRY THE DUKE. The first book was entertaining, not great literature, not historically accurate, not populated by well-defined or believable characters--just entertaining. This book is an embarrassment. The hero is a self-pitying, embittered, and arrogant boor with one or two redeeming qualities. The heroine is irritating, impulsive, spoiled, self-centered, and totally lacking in common sense (among other things). The author describes her as charming, refreshing, and witty. The two characters fall in lust-at-first-site (can't imagine why) and the whole book flows from there. It is supposed to be set in Regency England, but could have been set in 21st Century Manhattan without changing the characters (just their wardrobes). There is a possibility, I suppose, that the book got better after page 195. But, by that time, I figured I had punished myself sufficiently for having spent the $6.00.
