   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Bookjoy144 | Mar 2, 2022 |   2 Stars During her social debut, Miss Eugenia Talbot, commits the most egregious of faux pas when she laughs in the presence of the Queen. Her reputation in tatters, Genie must marry and quickly. Unrepentant rake, William Grant, the man responsible for Genie's predicament takes it upon himself to aid in the quest for a groom, However, it soon becomes clear to him that he desires the position for himself. Despite the rather promising premise, A Wedding in Springtime falls completely flat mainly due to the fact that in addition to the plot outlined above, there are numerous additional storylines and a multitude of characters, none of which are sufficiently developed. The author alternates between the primary romance between Genie and Grant, and a secondary romance (which is not only more compelling, but also remains unresolved until book #3 in the series) between James, Duke of Marchford, and Miss Penelope Rose his grandmother's companion. There is also a third romance between Genie's cousin, Louisa (James's betrothed) and the family physician. Confused yet?! Lets add in the street urchin, the French spy and the Dowager Duchess who seeks to supplement her allowance by opening ... a matchmaking service. It sounds like some sort of bad bar joke, doesn't it? To top it all off, the writing is stiff and monotonous, the descriptions excessively detailed and the dialogue adds nothing to either characterization or plot development. I'll not even bother with the characters, most of whom are stereotypical and unappealing. All in all, the only thing the story has going for it besides the rather likable Penelope, is the fact that it is free for Kindle.

"This entertaining novel is a diamond of the first order." � Booklist STARRED review Miss Eugenia Talbot committed the grave faux pas of laughing in front of Her Majesty, if she doesn't marry at once, she may never marry at all. William Grant got her into this mess, but their ideas on how to get her out of it may differ... Miss Eugenia Talbot's presentation to the queen is spoiled by a serious faux pas?the despicable William Grant made her laugh, right in front of Her Majesty. Now Eugenia is ruined and had better marry?someone, anyone?at once... Roguish William Grant has never taken anything seriously in his life. Until he meets Eugenia Talbot, who makes him feel and do things he never thought he would. Now Eugenia's great sense of humor and kindheartedness may be her undoing, unless William can help her find a husband. To his surprise, that's the last thing he wants to do...
