Book description
Miss Syndey Lattimore is managing her household on her grandfathers army half-pay pension. She has grand plans to take her sister Winnie to London for a Season where the beautiful Winnie will find a wealthy, devoted husband willing to care for the rest of the family. Sydney has saved some money from the household budget and from helping local farmers with their accounts. She plans to sacrifice her dowry as well. Syndeys ailing grandfather has no choice but to agree to the plan. Sydney didnt anticipate the expense of a Season not just for Winnie, but for her as well. She has to find money somewhere to tide them over until Winnies suitor comes up to scratch. Forrest Mainwaring, Viscount Ware, ex-Navy officer wants nothing to do with women or marriage. Not to say that hes a monk but... hes seen enough of marriage to know that its not for him. His parents are happily separated and enjoy throwing bits of crockery and china at each other whenever they meet. Hes content to live in the Dower House with his one-eyed hunting dog while his mother and her awful, yappy Pekingese dogs live at Mayne Chance. Forrests mother summons him to go to London and extract his brother Brennan from whatever scrape hes fallen into this time. His task leads him on a violent spree of dealing with cardsharps and the unscrupulous money lenders known as O. Randall and Associates. Just as Forrest has dealt with the money lenders, a female walks in. Forrest despairs of dealing with this woman, probably a dowager judging from her mourning. He tries politely to send her on her way but dash it all, the dowager is actually a young chit of a girl without sense or reason! Sydney is momentarily shocked at facing a half naked savage with knives and guns and blood everywhere, but she quickly regains her composure facing the supposed money lender with her usual stubbornness. Forrest is entirely undone by her red-gold curls, he has no choice but to give her 1000 pounds (which she tries to refuse) and kiss her! Syndey is able to hold her own and determined not to be beholden to the moneylender for anything! She concocts one new scheme after another and Forrest is always there chasing after her to save her reputation. Why hes going through so much trouble for a senseless girl he really doesnt know... Meanwhile, O. Randall and Associates plot their revenge. This book features so many things I dislike: a silly young heroine, an alpha hero (when paired with a young heroine), blood, stock characters and some historical inaccuracies, but Barbara Metzger is such a skilled writer that I end up loving almost everything she writes just because its funny. The plot is culled from the standard Regency canon, including some of her own novels, but she puts a unique spin on it by infusing the plot with her trademark screwball style. Sydney is crazy. She comes up with one harebrained scheme after another. She has the same idea as Frederica but she doesnt have a patron because her aunt is too cheap and has a daughter of her own to bring out. Sydney will not admit defeat nor can she really for her family really is desperately poor. I dont blame her for trying to find ways to help her family, but she went about it all wrong. Shes constantly in a bumblebroth on the verge of ruining her reputation. Her exploits are crazy yet very very funny. Forrest is a Corinthian/rake/alpha hero. I dont like alpha heroes paired with young heroines. Forrest comes across as a misogynist in the beginning but hes also a rake and the two seem at odds with each other. Hes constantly blowing up at Sydney for her antics and then kissing her. Hes a good person at heart who cares for his family but I just didnt really warm up to him very much. With another heroine I think he could be delightful but I think hes too old and alpha for Sydney. The other characters are simple stock characters. Winnifred is Charis from Frederica, Brennan is a typical young man about town, Baron Scoville is the typical suitor and the villains are bumbling, cartoonish fools straight out of The Three Stooges. The Duke and Duchess are annoying with their constant arguing and throwing things, yet they began to appeal to me, first for the comedic aspect and then because I saw them for their true selves and how their sons personality came to develop. First Ill talk about the negatives of this book. There are a few inaccuracies such as one big one involving a scheme of Sydneys that could never happen because it was scientifically impossible at that time. Also, Forrest asks Sydney to call him by his name which I dont think he would do. The romance didnt really do anything for me. Sydney needs a father not a husband. The secondary romance develops off page and very quickly so that its hard to remember its happening. Theres a lot of kissing, innuendo and some sensuality in this book. Its not a whole lot more than in any of her other early books but it was a little more than sweet. The conclusion to the romance is not very satisfactory. I was hoping for a little more. I was disappointed the dogs were a part of the plot but not really characters. Nelson is dropped after his introduction and the Pekes are only in the background. Now, for the positive. The writing is what makes this book so delightful and saves it from being a dud. I kept cringing waiting for Syndeys next bumblebroth yet laughing at her scrapes. I even laughed at the villains, who were meant to be funny rather than taken seriously. I had a hard time putting the book down, wondering what Sydney would do next and how it would all turn out. I like a good, screwball comedy story, especially before going to sleep at night. This one fit the bill. If you like her other books, youll enjoy this one.
