Booklist – January 2011
|
|
Lady Augusta, the oldest of the Duke of Faraday's three
daughters,
quickly becomes the toast of the London season when she arrives
fashionably late. Her father and aunt want her to find the ideal match
from a
long list of suitors, so they host the men and a few other
eligible ladies at
their country home just after the season's end.
Augusta's younger sisters,
incomparably beautiful Charlotte and
the feisty and clever Muriel, are
enlisted to help cull the unsuitable men.
Some make inappropriate advances to
Charlotte; others are caught
wagering on who will win Augusta's hand; and yet
others are eliminated
for silly quirks. Augusta's true love ends up being the
last person
she considered.
Marks' fifth historical romance is a fun but
insubstantial escapist read.
The sisters are appealing heroines, but the slew
of throwaway characters
can be confusing.--Walker, Aleksandra
