5.0 out of 5 stars
Deeply satisfying, Jun 13 2005
By rampant reader "dxystar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lady Samantha's Choice (Mass Market Paperback)
AT first glance, a father's will that forces his daughter to marry a man of his choice or lose everything seems a hackneyed plot but Olivia Fontayne gives it a deeply satisfying play-out. Lady Samantha has never met the Marquis of Carrington and yet she must marry him or be forced into hinterland exile by her obnoxious cousin Gerald. Courageously, Samantha visits Carrington but leaves with no hope that he will agree to marry her. He does, just in time, but is shot before they can wed leading to a midnight wedding while he is on his sick bed, recovering from the wound. Needless to say, the marriage is not off to a good start and this leads to misunderstanding. But neither Samantha nor Carrington can deny their attraction and desire to make this marriage work and we are left knowing that it will. The manners and mores are true to the genre, there is humor but not silliness, and the characters read true to their era. The secondary characters are good and the subplot works and does not detract from the primary. Just a deeply satisfying read for Regency lovers. I had not previously read Fontayne but now I find myself wanting to locate and get all her books.
Listmania!
