Childish, petulant, spoiled and jealous describes the heroine of the Virgin Huntress. I did not like this book solely because of this imperious eighteen year old.Vesta is upset her father has married a younger woman.  Use to being the apple of her father’s eye, she decides it is time she finds a husband.  In London she spies Hew, a war hero and younger brother to her godfather.  Vesta has decided she “loves” Hew upon sight and she sets out to snare him.  She resorts to the damsel in distress and even goes so far as to enlist her godfather’s help.Vesta stamps her foot whenever she does not get her way, literally.  She whines and barely acts in a manner befitting a heroine. She is immature, impatient and impetuous. She also has an ego the size of England, believing Hew will fall in love with her if he just spent a few days with her without any female competition.  She is convinced she is that irresistible. Did I mention she is also fickle and reckless?  She seems blithely unaware that she puts other people’s lives in jeopardy with her actions.Vesta is the kind of character who usually plays the villainess.  She might have been a likable heroine if the reader could have seen some growth and maturity in her personality but since this was a shorter story,  that never happened.
