Dreamy Corinithian Gareth Ludlow was quite young when his One True Love passed away. Determined to create a future for himself despite his broken heart, he chooses to ask for the hand of nearly-an-old-maid Lady Hester. Surely SHE could use a proposal, right? But Lady Hester has a mind of her own and in short order, all on his own, Gareth is in a pit of trouble covered by a web of the silliest lies - all involving one pigheaded teenage girl and her crazy plans. How WILL this all sort itself out?
Heyer's romantic historical fiction is always the thing. Yes, I always want more romance at the end, her blunt endings are always a bit disappointing but also dependable so what can I expect? Are her characters delightful and their exploits hilarious? They really are. This book entertained me and even with a few slow bits, I found myself needing to find out if Lady Hester and Lord Gareth ever WOULD find each other.
