THERE’S MANY A SLIP…
He’d been warned that Lady Clarissa Crambray was dangerous. Stomping on toes and burning piffles, the chestnut haired beauty was clearly a force with which to be reckoned. But for Adrian Montfort, Earl of Mowbray, veteran of the Napoleonic wars, this was just the challenge he needed. He could handle one woman and her “unfortunate past”. Could any woman handle him?
‘TWIXT THE CHIT & HIS LIPS
Lady Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her mother wanted one for her. Really! Doffing her spectacles might make a girl prettier, but how would she see? She’d already caused enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname. Yet, as all other suitors seemed to shy away in terror, there came a man to lead her to the dance floor. A dark, handsome blur of a man.
Clumsy Clarissa was about to stumble onto true love.
Readers said…”Although there’s nothing in the book to suggest when it is set, references to certain styles of clothing and events place it firmly in the early part of the 19th century. But there’s a very modern feel to much of the dialogue; and the use of a number of anachronistic expressions, not least of which is “okay”, do stick out like the proverbial sore thumbs. But the thing is, I found the two principal characters to be rather charming, I liked the story – even though parts of it were a bit daft – and the underlying theme of two people whose insecurities have held them back from living their lives and finding love. The book is pure mental candyfloss, but in a good way – light, fluffy and fun, but fortunately not sweet enough to rot one’s teeth!”
“Love is Blind isn’t complicated or overly-angsty and it rattles along at a good pace. The mystery side of the plot is well done and I didn’t guess the identity of the villain of the piece until quite late on. But as I’ve said before, I’m not a great reader of mysteries, so I often miss the subtler clues! Clarissa and Adrian were cute both individually and together, and they were really what made the book so enjoyable, in spite of the anachronisms and the silliness of the main plot. The chemistry between them was terrific, there was plenty of humour and the whole thing was a piece of good-natured fluff, which isn’t as easy to pull off as one might think.”
“Sexual content: not evaluated. I read this book before I began counting sex scenes and describing the language. As I recall it was probably moderate. Setting: 1818 London. Copyright: 2006. Genre: regency romance.”
