review 1: I had this on my shelves for ages - one of a bundle of books passed on to me by a friend. I picked it up as comfort reading due to my never ending cold. It's an interesting read. Some bits were unbelievable but I liked the relationship between the main characters. I also liked the rather unusual perspective - rather than a woman making a hugely advantageous marriage, this followed a man who was in the position of being a 'fortune hunter' and needing to marry money, and that this is an understandable, even honourable, course. It was a refreshing perspective.I was a bit confused by Dexter, though - he was so desperate to know that Laura had loved him but he kept saying that he didn't believe in love. Laura was a bright, shrewd woman and I don't believe that she wouldn't have... more picked up on that. The relations were rather *too* awful and became cardboard cut outs, but generally, a good read.
review 2: Review taken from my blog post (#35) after picking up at the local library:Right off the bat, it does have the most lovely cover .... beautiful jewels .... exactly as you would imagine a Duchess.However, mmmmmmmm the quote on the cover says "Wonderfully original, sinfully amusing and sexy" ...... I missed it somewhere along the way. I would have said slowish going, where was the amusement and what sex?Simply very little happened, it did not gallop along, merely plodded .... albeit in a sedate and nice'ish way.A 2 star ** rating I am afraid. less
