Title: Good Idea... Bad Writing...
Review: This book had a good premise, but a flawed execution.I was expecting a fresh new take on Regency romance, but this had to be one of the most mundane and predictable plots ever. The main characters don't have any spark. The author tells us they do - over and over - bet we never actually see it. The writing was laughable. (Yes, I know romance novels can get cheesy, but this was just awful. Every kiss "shook to the core of the soul.")The punishment at the end was annoying. It was totally out of character for Marianne, she was acting like a moron.The Widow's Club gossip wasn't very racy and/or entertaining.I think if the author had instead made Clarissa and Sherwood's story the primary one, it would have been a much better read. They were the only ones that seemed to have chemistry.
