I read this weeks ago but for some reason forgot to post… probably because this book was so forgettable.
One Night in London by Caroline Linden
(2011, Regency Historical) 11/11/12
Grade: 2.5
Lady Francesca Gordon needs an attorney to help her gain custody of her niece, but the best attorney in London is stolen from her by Edward de Lacey, the son of the Duke of Durham. Edward has problems of his own – the dukedom is threatened by a secret marriage – but he’s willing to help Lady Gordon. But he wasn’t expecting to find her fiery personality so fascinating…
This book started off well. The setup was interesting and unique, and the characters seemed well written. But when I got about halfway through the book, I just got bored. The book seemed like just another retread of the same story. I found myself skimming to the end. It’s hard to explain exactly why this book didn’t work for me – I just reached a point where I didn’t want to read it any more. Too bad.
I gave the next book in the series a try but it didn’t interest me any more than this one. Too bad, I was looking forward to discovering a new author.
