Vesta
is in London for her coming out. She is
a very outspoken girl and according to her godmother, very spoiled. She always finds a way to get what she wants,
even if she has to bribe others to get it.
She has her eyes set on her godfather’s brother. According to her it was
love at first sight. She will do anything to make sure she gets him.
Hew is
a Captain who fought in the army and just recently returned to London. He thinks that Vesta is a spoiled child who
should be sent back to her father for discipline before she should be allowed
to find a husband.
Throughout
the whole book, Vesta was completely determined to get what she wanted. I found
it funny sometimes that she tried to be sweet and innocent when everyone knew
she wasn’t. It did surprise me when she
went to her godfather for help. The one person who she was warned against
seeing, the one who helped her the most.
The way
that she convinced Hew that he was her love was completely priceless. I think
that in today’s world, there would be a lot of laughter involved when it was
all over. I completely enjoyed that part of the book. It definitely proved that
a woman, no matter from what time she is in, can get what she wants as long as
she fights for it.
The
problem that I had with this book was that it started out a little slow. It did
not completely suck me in like I thought it would. Overall the book was an
interesting read for me. I do recommend reading the rest of the author’s books
that has to do with this just so that you can keep up with the characters. I
will definitely see about getting other books by this author to read.
As I first started reading this, I didn’t think I would enjoy it. It started out differently than other historical romances that I have read. In the end I did enjoy it.
