Individually, her books are light and entertaining however it'd be a mistake to read them one after the other because the main characters have a tendance to be interchangable. Besides the cute nicknames getting irratating fast.
A descendant of a duke, servants, ghosts and flying Herring! this book has the lot and had me laughing aloud.
The idea is catastrophies while filming of a Victorian reality show, the book being the diary of the American heroine Tessa throust into the fray and finding romance and family.
For someone previously married for 16years she had a whole load of physical hang-ups. Not the most body confident myself I occasionally found myself rolling my eyes at yet another referance to her percieved flaws. And she didn't stop talking, ok this was supposed to be her diary but still.
Maxikins’ personal torment seemed a little contrived, can’t say as I’d put up with all the scowling however delicious he was. However he did get that push into the muddy lake!
Situations ran from strange, to funny, to ridiculous almost as if she was carrying out writting dares. I recommend it to anyone needing a good laugh.
The Cat ruled, I gotta get my cat hornies! Bwahahaha
The idea is an American would-be-author coming to England and falling for a police detective. There are a lot of excerpts from the heroines would-be books, a tactic that ca work well but here just highlighted her stupidity. The knight and his blind horse was mildly funny on first mention but from there showed her as neurotic and was overdone.
There was no chemistry at all between lead characters. I didn’t see the point in making him a serious work obsessed detective specialising in computer based sexual abuse. That he had so much computer equipment at home for tracking this gave me a serious sense of unease rather than developing his character. Why he’d suddenly fall for the heroine is a true mystery.
