The choice between adhering to a long-held pact and finally accepting love could prove Lady Tabitha Shelton's unhinging. She is plump, plain, pleasant...and thoroughly unappealing to any of the men of the ton-apart from fortune hunters. A self-appointed wallflower, she has every intention of remaining one. Tabitha made a vow of spinsterhood with her cousins when they were girls, and she refuses to go back on her word. So far, she's proven herself quite adept at warding off the blasted fortune hunters' pursuits.Noah deLancie, Marquess of Devonport, would prefer to marry for love and companionship-he's a gentleman through and through-but circumstances have forced his hand: he needs money as badly as he needs a bride. When Noah's brother-in-law suggests pursuit of his sister, Tabitha, a woman with a dowry large enough to cause even Croesus to blush and who is tantalizingly good company to boot, Noah stumbles into the future he hopes to secure. He'll stop at nothing to convince Tabitha to ...… (altro)

LOVED Tabitha. Had all the insecurity that I appreciate in my favorite themes (chubby spinster) while still managing to have decent gender roles, at least compared to some other HRs.

First read May 2012 I think - reviews stands up to re-reading. Not terribly interested in Pariah (reviews indicate it is terribly G-rated, and I suspect it is about a single mom, which doesn't interest me), but I am looking forward to Shelved! If it ever comes out…

Rereread 2021 - WHY did it not occur to Noah and Leith to just tell Tabitha to watch out for Oglethorpe? Like, I get not telling her brothers about the bet, but for the love of god, not telling HER that someone was planning to sexually assault her is kinda effed up. (

Tabitha and her friends make a pact to become spinsters and only do what they please when they grow up. More than a decade later, Tabitha is certainly unmarried but, weirdly enough, doesn't seem to actually *do* anything except attend balls and feel uncomfortable at them. What's the point of making a pact to be a free spirited spinster if you only make an effort to accomplish the latter half, and not the former? 50% of her pov chapters are her trying to pair her brother up with someone, and 50% are her saying she's too fat to dance/be beautiful/do anything fun. All of the side characters spend all of their time matchmaking Tabitha and the love interest. It's all frightfully dull. I only got 20% into this before giving up in boredom, so it might get better as the story progresses. (

I got to 16% and stopped. It wasn't particularly bad, but it had a few silly moments that made me wonder if I was losing my mind. So I headed over to Amazon and read a few of the not-complimentary reviews and realized that, no, I am not out of my mind. I'm gonna bail on this because I just don't have time for mediocre nonsense.
