A Love Match

by Barbara Allister

A naive young beauty is bewildered by the attentions of the realm's most desirable lord. What sinister motives hide behind his dazzling smile, what mischief lurks in his bewitching eyes? Even more troubling, when he wraps her in his powerful arms, why does her will to struggle disappear? Review in GR by Lisle 2008 Recommends it for: no one I think I may be finally cured of regency romances, and this book was the one to do it. I know, what do I expect of a Signet? But really, awful character development--generic would be better. The main character was basically a spoiled ninny with pretty hair and clothes. At least this regency described the clothes a bit, but no really good words. Lots of pelisses, and that was the acme. But a NINNY! The writing was putrid, and the editing rotten. I always keep a little tally of errors--even the best books usually have one. OK, I'm crazy fussy. But this so-called book had one per page! I tortured myself and finished it, unlike countless other pulpies. It was medicine, to get me onto other things, as I should be.
