Review: Season of Love
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 3, 2012
Elizabeth is twenty-two, and an orphan living with her Uncle, the Earl of Dewberry, who was kind enough to take her in and support her. The Earl's two younger daughters are ready for their season, but Isabella is determined to ensnare Darian as the Marquess of Bingington. Darin knows that as heir to the duke, he is required to marry inside his peerage and is resigned to having to marry Isabella at the end of the season. That is until Elizabeth continues to show him everything he wants in a woman... can Darin find the courage to ignore the expectations of the ton and marry for love?I really enjoyed this, I thought Elizabeth was great as a heroine. She really gave me a lot of the qualities that I love for my heroines to have, although I really wish she hadn't stayed quiet when Isabella was disparaging to her. Darin, was okay, I would have liked to have seen a little more depth to him. I feel he straddles the one-dimensional personality border, though. Isabella and Edward (Darin's brother) were fun secondary characters.Other than Isabella's verbal barbs towards Elizabeth, there really is no antagonist in this or any of the obligatory "misunderstandings." I'm not going to make a claim either way as to the historical accuracy of this, I am woefully unqualified to make such statements. However, at face value I didn't have any issues that I can recall or remember mentally noting. I'll also mention that this jumps around a little, pace wise. It'll be the day the invitation arrives to the day of the ball, with nothing in between. Sometimes this is aggravating to me, but it didn't bother me too much here.Overall, I enjoyed this, I thought it was cute.
