I love historical books and the more recent romance versions of them I have really gotten into.  They are more story, less bodice ripping than their predecessors. A Lady’s Plight far exceeded my expectations.In the beginning Isa and her friends were very flighty. Their whole world was based on materialism and stature. Each girls entire being was based on suitable marriage and dowries, as was common for well-to-do families of that age. Isa has been waiting for marriage far long than was normal for that age and she finally puts her foot down and demands Alex marry her and bring her with him when he is deployed in the military to fight Napoleon. Enter a crazy stalker from Isa’s childhood and her life become overly exciting and complicated.My favorite part about this book is Isa’s transformation from “rich girl” to social activist by the end of the book. Her friend Henrietta is another story. That girl needs a dose of sex-ed. Since her book is next I think we shall see if her beau gets a chance to school her in the art of romance or succumb to his mistress.Great book, highly recommended.
