I absolutely loved how beauty wasn’t mentioned hardly at all in this book. Unfortunately Richard stammers in front of nearly everyone except those he’s comfortable around most – the household staff. Richard knows that theirs isn’t a love match, but he’s desperate to bring prosperity back to Garrison Tor, his family’s estate. In a time period where a woman was lucky if she even liked the man her family picked out for her to marry, Geni demands complete fidelity from her husband she will not tolerate a husband who is “tossing” one of the housemaids while she sits by.
But this is also the main reason why I loved this book as much as I do. I won’t lie, you become increasingly frustrated throughout the book by the fact that both Geni and Richard are both fools who think the worst at nearly all times, but don’t bother to actually talk things out. From the beginning you become enraptured with a cast of characters that are truly eccentric, even for a time period where nearly everyone had some type of neurosis. This has to be one of the funniest historical romances I’ve read in months. Review originally posted at Romancing the Book
