Like most things in my life, my reading journey proceeds in a convoluted and undirected fashion. The reading cut ends up being about 75% romance, 25% everything else.
Almost all of the books will have been supplied by the publisher in return for an honest review.
At the beginning of the book, a young man meets an even younger woman and notes that she seems to be running wild. Eight years later, the man is the Duke of Rockcliffe and that young woman is the "spinster aunt" at her mother's sister. She isn't really any more beautiful but her acerbic wit catches his attention. So does the fact that her cousin is avidly chasing the duke. But when her cousin's schemes go horribly wrong, Adeline is the one who ends up being married to the duke. I read a review of this book on Dear Author and thought it sounded good. And the first half was wonderful. But the second half suffered from So Much "if they had but talked to each other." Three Stars This book came out in 1990 Borrowed this book from Audible Escape Opinions are my own
