Review: Appealing Heroine
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 6, 2013
In the Victorian era, Alys, as a woman of 26, is considered over-the-hill. So I was rooting for her to find romance and prove to herself and her family she was worthy of happiness. At times I wanted to smack some of her family members for their boorish, self-centered, and entitled behavior. In addition, it was painful to watch a talented artist such as Alys have to defer to men so frequently. I enjoyed the journey, however, and took pleasure in the successes of an unconventional heroine. I will look forward to the next book in the series, and hope to see some of the antagonists in The Marquess of Cake get the smack-down they so richly deserve!
