review 1: Tess Blanchard, and Ian, Duke of Rotham. Another stupid heroine intelligent and caring except when it comes to romance. Too irritated to review this properly. Again a premise that suspends belief, Tess leaves husband after one wedding night at the estate to go match-making in one of his castles. And he lets her go?As a result of this series, I realize I that I like intelligent pragmatic heroines, one who are not so stupid to see the being the wife of a kind good looking wealthy nobleman has many benefits. Women were raised to aspire to marriage so it doe not seem believable in the Regency time period for women not to have more sense in this regard. I would have given it more stars if the series wrapped up all the H/Hs of the previous 5 books. At least we hear one of ... morethem is expecting; they way all the couples all go at it multiple times a night, I would have thought all would be pregnant by the time the series ends.
review 2: This last installment of the Courtship Wars series was long anticipated, but it turned out that it didn't quite live up to its hype. The story was rather bland; sweet but unexceptional. The forced marriage, the "haunted" castle, and the the couple's determined fight against their sexual attraction are staples in the romance genre. It wasn't until Ian honestly confronted his love for Tess and his determination to win her that the story became interesting. Unfortunately, you have to read through most of the story to get there. Finding out the truth about Tess's late betrothed's character, his actions, and ultimately his secret, not only added another interesting slant to the plot, but was a testament to Tess's maturity. Still, overall an average read. 3.5 stars. less
