Weak and Wretched Heroine,
By
This review is from: A Love Match (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
I had a difficult time finishing this book. I have read and enjoyed many Barbara Allister books but this was not enjoyable at all! I just wanted to slap Rosemary and tell her to stiffen her spine -- this from a reader who doesn't mind some helplessness in the heroine! Rosemary was just too weak. If I were Mr. Huntington, I would have ran the other direction as fast as I could. I did not really grow to like ANY of the characters in the book. Rosemary's father seemed bizarre at times -- didn't want to help her face her debilitating problems, yet drove himself to distraction trying to find the culprits of a strange crime against Rosemary (They cut off her hair). The stepmother blew hot and cold -- seemingly sympathetic, then remote. The hero was kind but why did he bother with Rosemary to begin with??? She did not seem his style. At least he tried to get to the root of her panic attacks which at the end of the book did seem to happen less and less. None of the other people in the book grew on me and many were not fleshed out. The book was confusing at times since they intimated at problems with Rosemary's father's first marriage and her stepmother's first marriage which made no sense at all? Are they in previous books?? The children of Stephen Huntington's brother (twins) were cute.
This novel did contain a few intimate scenes normally not found in Regencys which I found interesting and there is no violence or intrigue (a plus to me!). Not that much to recommend it but -- if you like to read all the books Barbara Allister wrote you may want to slog through this one. Maybe it will make more sense to another reader. Not a keeper for me.
