An unsuitable match for the Viscount
And not just because she vexes him!
One of The Triplet Orphans. Bookworm Rose Lennox has no
interest in making her debut—she’s only in London to discover the truth of her
parentage. Her sponsor’s nephew James, Viscount Ashbourne, is equally cynical
about the marriage mart, yet they still rile each other every time they speak!
The sparks of animosity soon become flames of attraction, but Rose’s unknown
past means she can never be a viscount’s wife...
My Thoughts
It was great to be transported back to Regency England, to the social events of the Ton. The three sisters all had their own personality. Anna is the calm practical one. Izzy is far more impulsive. Rose has a reticence which hides her quick wit and independent spirit. This story centres on Rose, when the three sisters travel to London to take part in the social season. I enjoyed the descriptions of the events and parties.As Rose finds out, reputation is everything but life is heavily influenced in favour of the men. Social status is paramount and there are many nuanced social niceties to manoeuvre.
You see the story through both Rose and James’ perspectives and both emerge as likeable and intelligent people. I also appreciated some of the older ladies with their experienced eyes which didn’t miss anything. This is the first in a trilogy of stories about the three sisters and if you like historical romance, you won’t be disappointed.
In short A season to remember
