Interesting Regency, Mar 6 2007
By Tobi2772 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Change of Fortune (Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Backflap:
Miss Leonie Conyngham was as wealthy as she was beautiful and proud - until family disaster stripped her of fortune and left her with only her pride to defend her beauty.
Rupert, the Duke of Thornbury, the most notorious and successful rake in the realm, made his designs on her clear. His companion in infamy, the shrewd and cynical Edward Longhurst, had his own plans to possess her. And most dangerous of all, Imogen Longhurst, the belle of the London season, set out to eliminate Leonie as a rival for the handsome, gallant Sir Guy de Lacy by the foulest means at her conscienceless command.
Leonie knew all too well that a moment's weakness would leave her undone -especially her weakness for a certain lord whom it was folly to love - and would mean ruin to win...
This isn't the worst Regency I've read and not the best. Leonie is an interesting, sometimes complex heroine, who learns just before she's to leave boarding school, that her father has died in Spain in disgrace. This turns her world upside-down and she becomes a teacher at her school in a rather cruel turn-of-events.
At times Leonie seems too meek and at times too shrewd. It's that incongruity that did not allow me to get behind her character at all. I almost wanted one of the 'dastards' to have his way with her just to bring her some realism. Sir Guy de Lacy is a great hero but could have made more of an effort to help find out what really happened to her father, since it's evident from the start that something shady occurred.
The story progresses slowly at times and quickly at others with no real surprises. The writing is, as usual for Ms. Heath, very good.
Listmania!
