Damsel in distress rescued by handsome gentleman above her socio-economic "class" but I think before criticism it should merely be appreciated and enjoyed for the romance and storyline of its time. Historical romances today have much fuller and more unpredictable storylines but I'll just say that although I wouldn't read more of the series it was a brief "Take me away to another time and place" reading experience. It reminded me of historical romances that I read years ago by Barbara Cartland. ( ) The fourth book in Cameron's Mayfair Square series picks up a bit, at least in terms of plot. Jenny McBride is the titular orphan, working as a milliner's assistant. She is introduced to Latimer More of Mayfair Square by her inclusion in a club Sybil Lloyd (nee' Smiles) had formed in order to inform themselves of the particulars involved in romantic interludes. Latimer has decided to woo and marry Jenny, and she pridefully resists. The intrigue comes at the hands of Morley Bucket, Jenny's former landlord who plans to sell her as a mistress/slave to a very rich Client. The ghost of Sir Spivey is still interfering and causing trouble, but is in the process of a reformation, and his machinations are less disruptive than they've been in past volumes. I had a little trouble understanding why, exactly, Latimer had set his cap for Jenny, but she proves to be a worthy match. However, I hate, Hate HATE the device of phonetically spelling the words uttered by someone with a Scottish accent, and thus found myself skimming everything uttered by Jenny. "Och." "Dinna" "Ye." Blech. As I said, though, the intrigue in this novel was much better plotted than the last two novels in the series, and the villain was actually a surprise to me. Hopefully the next and final book will continue on this trend. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Cameron returns to London's 7 Mayfair Square, where Latimer More, known as England's Most Daring Lover, risks his reputation by falling madly in love with a penniless nobody. Jenny McBride, an orphaned Scottish lass, is amazed by Latimer's advances, yet pushes him away. From the desperation and haunted look in Jenny's blue eyes, Latimer senses there is much more to her denial of him than meets the eye. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
