Carol S. (waucondacarol) reviewed More for the mystery than the romance on 3/28/2009 + 319 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 6

I have to agree with Carol P. The heroine was toooo naive (especially about procreation) for being 26 yrs old, a vicar's daughter (who surely knew about the failings of men and women where sex is concerned), & raised in the county. One would think she had never been allowed out of the house. She also seems too starchy and quick to take offense at her old childhood friends and treat them as if they were lofty strangers even if they are men. I didn't find the heroine at all charming and wondered what the Marquis saw in her? The bit of mystery and hidden secrets and treasure thrown into the mix relieve what would otherwise be a boring story. The little girls are more realistic characters and delightful as is the Marquis's aunt.
