This is a spoiler: she thinks about it. She considers the pros and cons. She makes up her own mind rather than just acting contrary to her brother's authority. She talks about her decision with the other person it will affect and gives her the opportunity to make her own decision about the situation. I don't want to shock anyone, but there are grown ups in this novel. Other than that it's a standard regency romance with balls and calls, curricles in the park and terraces with dark corners. The third in Camp's Matchmaker series. A few new revelations about the ongoing plot (I *knew* it!), but mainly this is Callie's story. At 23, Calandra Lilles has decided to get serious about marriage, partly to get her grandmother off her back, but mainly to get out from under her brother's thumb. Usually very lenient, he put his foot down about the Earl of Bromwell, with whom Callie had been enjoying a conversation. There is obviously bad blood between Rochefort and Bromwell, but Rochefort won't explain why. So Callie ignores him and welcomes Bromwell's addresses. But Bromwell is mainly interested in revenge for his sister, whom Rochefort dishonored some fifteen years ago--or did he? This is a romance novel, so everything turns out well, but the twists and turns on the road there are quite entertaining. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

But the main story is Callie and Bromwell. Callie is the Duke's much younger sister, overprotected, and a bit naive. Bromwell is a charming stranger who her brother warns her away from, even though he's probably the most eligible gentleman on the Marriage Mart.
But wait, there's the suspicious behavior of Lady Swithington, Bromwell's much older sister. Is she trying to promote a match between her brother and Callie? Or does she have darker motives? ( )
