Review: Became Predictable in the Middle
Rating: 3 out of 5

This wasn't a bad Regency romance, but it did become predictable about half way through. The first few chapters featured a heroine who was determined to escape her fate. Her bold and unexpected actions made those chapters a delight to read. Additionally, upon meeting, there was a build up of tension between the hero and heroine, as each had preconceived notions of the other. As the heroine's desperate plan to avoid her fate unwound, she abruptly lost her spark and suddenly became the epitome of a proper Regency miss. The hero, being always a proper duke (except for the last couple of pages), never did anything to reignite the remaining plot, which I easily guessed. (He didn't ignite anthing in me in the final scene either, but the heroine apparently enjoyed herself despite lack of foreplay.)I finished this story thinking it was merely okay.
