The Dangerous Lord

Not the best I've read!

This book isn't bad. The problem is that it's not good either!
Lots of inaccuracies that are quite annoying, as if the author has no idea about society's rules at that period.

First, the heroine is received in the best circles on the weak claim that her father ( architect, no family, no fortune) was well liked (even though his friends were wastrels, making improper advances toward the daughter!) Even if that were true when he was alive, it certainly wouldn't have continued after his death.

As for the seen at the Worthings, a lady IS compromised if she was seen kissing a gentleman, (sometimes for less than that, even) and if they were discovered by the biggest gossip in the ton, well she'd definitely be ruined! Claiming that Felicity was able to continue her life as if nothing has happened was too much to believe!

I don't claim to be the best authority when it comes to English history, but I'm sure that the rules of entailment don't work the way Ms. Jeffries described them. If the land is entailed to the title then it would be inherited the same way as the title. That silly nonsense about the grandfather dying young thus not securing the entailment for the grandson was too much to let go without commenting..

And last, the hero's terrible secret that was not so terrible at all. Yes, what happened was unfortunate and he should feel guilty about it, but not to the degree that was utilized in this book.

Again this was not a bad read, but it's definitely not worth paying for!!
