5.0 out of 5 stars
For Regency Fans
Elsie Lee takes a fairly ordinary Regency romance plot, but adds her own flair with the character, Sharlie Stanwood. Charlotte/Sharlie didn't take on her first season, but returns with her beautiful younger sister for another round. This time her interest in books, foreign travel, and riding and her outspoken ways catches the eye of the Duke of Imbrie. Although she...

Courtship of second season,
By Flower Girl (MN, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Season (Paperback)
This was a story about Charlotte accompanied Emily for her sister's debute and Charlotte's second try at the marriage mart. As Sharlie had a disastrous first season, and not expecting attract any attentions the second time, she was more of herself this time around, in turn, affixed the attention of Duke of Imbrie, the dashing, handsome, immensely wealthy and the most eligible man of the marriage mart. Charlotte turned down his offer because she thought Duke made a mistake, and the Duke tried to convince her otherwise ...
This story was an account of courtship from leaving of the Stanwood estate to the London ton, from balls, soirees, to the court presentation, and short outings...a whole 236 pages of it was quite tedious to me. Especially when the h/h were playing guessing games of "I like you, but you might not like me"--They went through whole plot of admiration for one another but hindered by either misinterpretation or shyness, which was neither of h/h's characters. While they were both described as intelligent people, it certainly did not make me feel this way about them. I simply got so bored and irritated half way through the book that I started to skip the pages... Not one of my favorites of Ms. Lee's work.

This review is from: Second Season (Paperback)
Elsie Lee takes a fairly ordinary Regency romance plot, but adds her own flair with the character, Sharlie Stanwood. Charlotte/Sharlie didn't take on her first season, but returns with her beautiful younger sister for another round. This time her interest in books, foreign travel, and riding and her outspoken ways catches the eye of the Duke of Imbrie. Although she doesn't conform to the simpish miss expected by society, she gains admirers, making the second season a success.
The conflict in the plot comes from confusion over the Duke of Imbrie's intentions. Sharlie counts him as one of her sister's admirers. The wary duke develops an attachment for Sharlie, but love is never simple in a regency romance. This will appeal to fans of Georgette Heyer. |
