Until then, oh well, I’m still content to enjoy. Karen Hawkins still has some work to do before she can cast off that Julia Quinn clone mantle, but hopefully, she’ll one day get to try to do something that will give her a unique voice that’s all hers. I know every romance wants a conflict, but what’s with all those contrived misunderstanding thingies? Conflict is fine, yes, but manufactured padding is something best left to pillow and mattress makers, alright? Incidentally, what’s up with the sudden dumbing down of Nick and Sara towards the end. Go away, you lot, or I will get my flyswatter. So when he accidentally snatches her instead of her lovely, scheming cousin for an elopement to Gretna Green. These people are stereotypes that don’t have any depths at all. Julia Frant has secretly loved Alec MacLean, the wild Viscount Hunterston from afar. Sequels.) and that stereotype old biddy Delphi. Less interesting are Sara’s annoying big brothers (I. She’s fine as a girl who just wants to have fun. Sara’s a pretty smart heroine too, not too ditzy that she can fry eggs on her skull or something like that. He has come a long way since The Abduction of Julia, and he is so cute, so territorial. See her go down screaming, heh heh heh.Īww, poor Nick. A native Southerner who grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee where storytelling is a way of life, Karen recently moved to frosty New England with her beloved husband and multiple foster dogs. (By the way, French readers may want to skip those bits where French women are described as wanting compared to guileless, innocent British flowers.) New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Hawkins writes novels that have been praised as touching, witty, charming, and heartwarming. He will not do, even as he stakes his claim on her and stalks her around ballrooms and… ooh. Plus, he won his fortune at a French gambling table, yucks. Where can she find such an idiot? Hmm.Ĭan it be…? No, Nicholas Montrose, the Earl of Bridgeton (no, he has nothing to do with Julia Quinn‘s Bridgerton books, because I’m sure Karen Hawkins doesn’t want to be known as “that Julia Quinn clone”… right?), is too notorious. Damn, now all she needs is a biddable, preferably doddering husband who will indulge her every whim. Now a widow, she wants to have fun, but too bad her meddlesome brothers just want to see her shackled.
