They are a super fast and entertaining read--so perfect if I want something to just entertain me and be done (it happens). This one though. Was a little too tortured in terms of plot to really make it. It's a fun idea that a bachelor would invent a wife, and an even more entertaining idea for some woman to pretend to be her without telling him. But we took a couple of wrong turns at fairly ridiculous plotlines (shooting,gambling at the bar with the card shark and so forth). Their magically falling in love in days. It was too much... even for a fan of Boyle. RATING: 2.5 stars I think I mostly just wasn't in the mood for these types of books anymore (already read a few this year) but I struggled with this book, possibly because I wanted to finish it so badly (as I said, a bit tired of the genre). Still, the story was a little out-there and while the premise had the potencial to be funny I just thought the whole thing unrealistic. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Alexander Denford, Baron Sedgwick, is a gentleman to be envied. He lives a rakish life of well-celebrated ease and contentment and has one person to thank for his perfectly ordered existence-his dearest wife, Emmaline. She never complains about his mistresses or his penchant for late nights out. His friends are envious, but they don't know the truth-Emmaline doesn't exist. But when he starts receiving bills from London for clothes, shoes, hats, and a staggering amount of other female accoutrements, he realizes something is decidedly amiss. Posing as Emmaline isn't a stretch for the newly arrived Lady Sedgwick, she's been conning gentry for years. But as the popular baron's wife, she now has the one thing that has eluded her-entree into London's inner circles. Against Alexander's better judgment, Emmaline is impossibly fixed in his life. And suddenly Emmaline is challenging him to be the husband she deserves. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
