1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous situations; violence against the heroine, April 23, 2005
This review is from: Abandoned for Love (Paperback)
The heroine Antoinette, whom I never came to admire, was gleeful when her miserable aunt and uncle died. That was before finding out she was really just a foundling and they didn't leave her a dime. Kicked out by cousin Cedric, she begins to walk towards Harrowgate but is accosted losing what few possessions she has except for a mysterious locket she believes was her mothers. The Duke of Lyveden, whom I never came to like either, picks her up and has stimulating conversation with her as they travel along. She only knows the name of one person in Harrowgate - Madame LeStrange - and being dropped off there is so gullible, she is drugged and dressed and prepared for the life of a courtesan. Just too much!

The Duke (did I EVER know his given name?) rescues her, and proposes she pose as his fiancée so he can "test" the three women he will choose from to marry. What that will prove, I can only imagine? Eventually they make their way to London, where we meet The Duke's obnoxious little sister and two of the ladies lucky enough to be selected by THE DUKE - the other lady in contention just ran off to America on learning the Duke was betrothed! (Lucky her!)

Dreary, dismal reading - impossible situations - no redeeming characters. Also Antoinette is being chased by another nobleman who was to be her first lover under Madam LeStrange. Remember we have that mysterious locket of her mothers! At one point, Antoinette actually dresses up like a courtesan and pulls a vamp act on the Duke -which results in him slapping her "with such stinging force she was sent flying across the room." HORRIBLE - awful - it would have been better if they had never met! Can't figure out why I even finished reading it!
