![]() ![]() Yes, there is the relationship focus in the book, but the characters felt bland. I’m not against either of those things, but if the romance is not primary, then it is not really a romance to me. I read romance books for the romance between the characters - not about the self-actualization of women or their feminist ideas. As a result, neither the characters nor the romance had any interest. ![]() The book feels like the author wanted to tell a story about a woman rejecting conventions of her time and then grafted the romance upon the story. ![]() The book was dull and so were the characters. Taking on a disguise, Cecelia confronts Ramsay who finds himself attracted to both the innocent Cecelia and her alter ego. This unwittingly places her in opposition to one of her best friend’s brother-in-law, Cassius Gerard Ramsay, Lord Chief Justice of the High Court, who has made it his mission to investigate the establishment and bring to justice those who are engaging in illegal activities. THE STORY: Cecelia Teague has a secret benefactor from whom she inherits a girls’ school - and a gambling establishment. ![]() I felt the story was more interested in complaining about women’s role in the world rather than the romance. The story, the hero and heroine, nothing interested me. FINAL DECISION: I was bored by this book. ![]()
