A Lady in Training
Everything a Lady is Not is an interesting, dramatic, very fast paced romance. Lady Margaret Huntington aka. Lucy Locket, and Henry Beaumont are both born into unfortunate situations. They first meet as children, both outcasts in their own families, like their favorite book Robinson Crusoe. Lucy and Henry meet again in a less auspicious way, as they trade salty insults. I can say it is the first time I have read bone box used as a synonym for a dirty mouth. Henry is cold, and often sarcastic toward Lucy’s predicament. It takes Lucy sharing her questionable kidnapping, to earn Henry’s sympathy. Lucy does assume a little too early that Henry respects and values her, which is a blow to her already lagging confidence. Though, Lucy is at first petulant, she does have a backbone when it comes to the inequality of gender roles, and Henry has the decency to agree with her. Together they overcome the hypocrisy of society, to learn they are best suited for each other. There are a few historical errors mainly with historical clothing. Overall, this book is a good start in writing historical romance.… (altro)
