Her Worthy Rake comes out on the 1st of January. The book will be published by Escape Publishing which is a part of Harlequin Books, which in turn is a division of HarperCollins Publishers Australia.
On the surface, the elements in this book were good and should have worked. A woman is looking for her twin brother, who goes missing after being forced to fight for his country after committing a crime without having the chance to say goodbye. As she looks for him, entering a life of genteel poverty, she comes across a family willing to help her and falls in love with the man who (accidentally) pushed her into the Thames. We also have a queer character and a subplot regarding publishing a pattern book.
All of this should have worked, but it didn't. For a book that is under 300 pages, it kept going on and on. It was so utterly boring that it'll be a while before I read another regency romance. I hated the twin brother they worked so hard to save; he didn't get enough trouble for what he did. Like he gets a hug and gets to go away. Not one note to his sister? No attempt to use the money he has that could help his sister and everyone else? I also don't enjoy how quickly they got the publisher to give up E.E., given how long he seems to have held out. I liked the dog, though. He had more personality than all the other characters.
On that note, armpit licking and boots staying on are things I will never understand. That was also incredibly specific, and I didn't need to know that!… (altro)
