| A very nice person asked me to review
Regencies. This was a very good thing because it showed me that my
e-mail link is, in fact, a working one. In my reply I explained that:
1)I review only series romance and 2) even if I reviewed non-series
romances it would be months and months before I could do a new review.
So. . . ummmm. . .
1)I'm convinced that Signet Regencies are really
and truly series romances and 2)It has been months and months. So here
it is------
What can I say about Lord Darlington's Darling? I
can definitely say that it is a romance. And there is no doubt that it
takes place during a time when England had a Regent. It is quite clearly
a book.
Let's try again.
If you love Regencies, you'll like this book. If
you have never read a Regency before do not start with this one.
It's not too bad. It ain't all that good either. It's O.K. And now that
I'm through damning with faint praise, let's get down to the bon ton,
shall we?
Reading Lord Darlington's Darling I was
immediately transported back to elementary school at first. You see,
Bethany likes Mr. Farnham but Bethany's big brother Sylvan, Lord
Darlington, doesn't approve. So Bethany uses Abbey to pass notes to Mr.
Farnham. Abbey likes big brother Sylvan and big brother Sylvan kinda
likes Abbey so Abbey doesn't really want to pass notes anymore.
Meanwhile, Lord Fielding likes Abbey and Abbey's
big sister likes Lord Fielding liking Abbey and does not approve of
Sylvan liking Abbey. This does not stop Abbey from letting Sylvan kiss
her behind the stands during the sock hop. . .
Wait, it's not a sock hop. It's a ball during The
Season.
Towards the end the story leaves elementary school
and enters high school when Mr. Farnham brings a gun to the prom.
