Been going back to a few of my authors and read their older books where I felt "Is this the same author?". So when I picked up this book and the note from the author was that it was one of her earliest works and readers can compare her current style with style 20 years back, i was disappointed. Was almost tempted to skip reading this book and started reading with a preconceived notion that it wont be as good. Must say in the first half I was pleasantly surprised. Yes as the story went on the leading lady was shown to be a little too silly. However it did have many of the elements of a typical Mary Balogh and was quite allright. ( )
Definitely not one of the best from Ms. Balogh's back catalog. The premise is fairly silly bets by the hero and heroine that end up with them marrying. Henrietta, the heroine is likable enough though she seems pretty stupid at times. Eversleigh, the hero, saved the book. ( )
Two rather confident or even cocky characters each make a bet that they will end up together - but it ends up that they are actually a good match. Henrietta is pretty young and naive which adds a bit to the charm when she meets her match in the Duke of Eversleigh. ( )
