Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-29 00:00:00 Teri Baldwin What could have been a charming four star comedy of manners is derailed by a one star Regency hero channeling a Harlequin HP H and a mean one at that. The H is back from a two year diplomatic mission during the Napoleonic Wars meets his potential bride. One comment, ONE, from the lovely lady and he is off in a froth about the �slut� his poor grieving father has married. Apparently his father married a �widow� with nine children. Once at the family estate he proceeds to make a complete and utter ass of himself using language no real Regency hero should use that sets him up for retribution by the tribe of kids that is worthy of a Disney movie from the 60s. The eldest daughter, our h, warns her siblings not to actually hurt the heir and then steps back. A scholarly boy, a devastating beauty, a sturdy outdoors type, an animal loving daughter, two twin hellions and a plot moppet that conspire to punish the man that made their mama cry and insulted the h do their worst. The hero does a 180 once he gets to know the family, but the constant inner monologuing that proceeds it is beyond irritating and drags the story down. Before his turnaround he invites his wannabe fiancee and some atrociously snotty friends to put the heroine and her family in their place. Yeah, nice. What a gentleman. He does regret it though and his eyes are opened to how unpleasant his potential fianc� is. The little tribe was charming and so well written that I wanted more of the future Classical scholar and the placid beauty who would slay in society, but instead we had just too much hero. Perfect for readers that like Barbara Metzger.
