Review: Dull and not true to the time period.

Another short story I couldn't finish, even scanning every other line. The storyline was not realistic, and it was boring to boot. I have a hard time accepting authors that write HR and don't stay true to the mores of the time period. No Duke during the Regency era would have allowed his grandmother to arrange a marriage for him, without his permission (however, if the author had made the setting 200 years earlier, I would have been fine with it). Also, the girl's father (who was suppose to adore his daughter), would have known that he and the grandmother could not make that kind of betrothal without the Duke's consent. That said, I might have even been able to overlook that if the book was interesting.
