A Struggle to Read., November 15, 2003
This review is from: Miss Gordon's Mistake (Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Unfortunately, this book is a comedy of errors that dispenses total frustration for the reader. Miss Catherine (Kitty) Gordon, a 1st generation American, is in England -- her mission to salvage her cousin Jessie's undeveloped life. At the tender age of 16, Jessica Merriman, caught in a compromising situation, was forced to marry the elderly Baron Haverville. Six years have past. Jessie, abandoned to the English countryside by her husband, has found another love. Fear not, cousin Kitty has a plan -- she will abduct the beastly baron and demand an annulment. Little does Kitty realize, the old baron has died, and she has kidnaped his heir - the dashing, attractive Red Jack Rayne - England's respectable war hero.
Sounds promising - it is not. I was disappointed. Anita Mills is one of my favorite authors, but this book missed the grade. It is an endless muddle of lengthy debate and idiocy. As a reader, I guess you discover the good and the bad. Usually this writer delivers the "good" to which I am grateful.
