Book Description

Publication Date: October 1991

Calamity's Kiss

Valerian Fitzhugh had been entrusted to accompany a wayward, headstrong heiress from her disreputable Italian pensione to her family's English estate. He had expected a young girl, not a beautiful, full-grown woman employed as an opera singer. Ever mindful of his obligation, Valerian escorted Miss Allegra Crispino across the ocean in a most gentlemanly fashion. Yet once they touched shore, the Englishman could no longer deny himself a kiss from the maddening minx. With that one embrace, their fates appeared to be sealed . . . until chaos was unleashed.

2.0 out of 5 stars too fluffy, April 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chaotic Miss Crispino (Paperback)

I have nothing against a good lightweight romantic novel, but this one is too fluffy even for the genre. It has the standard Regency romance plot: protagonists fall in love, are separated by some unlikely circumstance, and then overcome it to live happily or at least passionately ever after. However, the circumstances are too flimsy (a Regency buck won't tell the girl he loves her because he thinks she should have a fair chance to experience England first?! Come on!), historical detail is unconvincingly peppered into a story with no real sense of time or place, and the characters are too thin to be interesting.
