Review # 2 was written on 2010-03-09 00:00:00 Todd Mills Regency romances, my guilty reading pleasure... Sometimes I'm in luck, other times I'm not. I do prefer a well written and at least somewhat suspenseful plot even in a regency novel. I was almost ready to give up after the first two of this bundle, with their boring story lines and repetitive phrases. The Reasons for Marriage (Jason and Lenore): 2*. Jason and Lenore have a marriage of convenience, they end up falling in love but fail to communicate, an aunt has to intervene and get Jason to open up. And that's about it. A Lady of Expectations (Jack and Sophie): 1*. How obtuse can a woman be?... Besides, Ned and Clarissa's side story was nothing more than a filler, the ending scene between the main protagonists was highly implausible for the time period, and to top it all, the editing of this ebook was non-existent. Clarissa's younger brother George is referred to as Gerald in a couple of places, when Gerald was Jack's brother. So annoying. An Unwilling Conquest (Harry and Lucinda): 3.5*, and a pleasant surprise. I had started with the idea of just skimming through it, but found the plot much more engaging and the characters witty and charming. Instead of dismissing Stephanie Laurens's books as I had intended after the disappointment with "The Reasons for Marriage" and "A Lady of Expectations", I will probably give her Cynster series a try.
