2.0 out of 5 stars Not her best, Jan 22 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Bedeviled Duke (Paperback)
Judith Lansdowne's regencies are fun and even this had its moments. I liked Abbercrombe. Seems a doll of a man but to describe his nose as twice broken, with two twists on the way to the end is silly. Even back then a nose could be set, while it might not end up perfect. And having a nose as described by Ms. Lansdowne would have him look comical, malformed. If she wanted to create imperfections for his appearance, why make him so perfect looking to begin with? Having his age be 45 is okay but what was the point of making him so old? His eldest child(ren) was 18. Logically, he could have married at 22 or 24ish and he would only be in his late 30's early 40's. It would have been more logical to have him be in his late 30's because Judith made Olivia 31. 45 to 31 is almost 15 years between them. Or make Olivia older. That works, too. Why make her so young anyway? If it was to leave open the possibility of more twins, fine. But then the story needed an epiloge to complete the story with more children. An epiloge would have also completed the story with the Duke's re-entry into society and government on a non-spy basis. He was so completely bared from society you have to wonder how he was welcomed him back. He and the Earl were enemies. Did they just show up together at a ball and all was well? Ms. Lansdowne does have a tendency to not finish her books all the way and they are not short to begin with. I think she needs a better editor.

I enjoy Judith Lansdowne's regencies because they are funny, light, warm, appealing characters and enjoyable reads. This one was a delight. I loved Abbercrome. What a darling of a man. His children are a delight and reading about Olivia with them is fun. I took this book out of the library to read it and had to buy it in the end. It is a keeper
