Description

Dear Lady Truelove . . . I have fallen in love, truly and completely in love, for the first time. The man whom I hold in such passionate regard, however, is not of my station. He is a painter, a brilliant artist. Needless to say, my family would not approve . . . Henry, Duke of Torquil, wouldn't be caught reading the wildly popular "Dear Lady Truelove" column, but when its advice causes his mother to embark on a scandalous elopement, an outraged Henry decides the author of this tripe must be stopped before she can ruin any more lives. Though Lady Truelove's identity is a closely guarded secret, Henry has reason to suspect the publisher of the notorious column, beautiful and provoking Irene Deverill, is also its author. For Irene, it's easy to advise others to surrender to passion, but when she meets the Duke of Torquil, she soon learns that passion comes at a price. When one impulsive, spur-of-the-moment kiss pulls her into a scorching affair with Henry, it could destroy her beloved newspaper, her career, and her independence. But in the duke's arms, surrender is so, so sweet . . .… (more)

Tedious. Manipulative, unlikable "hero". Couldn't finish it.

This had several aspects I enjoy, working heroines, journalism, class differences, dukes... And it was put together decently, but I didn't really get caught up in it. And the heroine was kind of mean when she was unhappy. The hero really wasn't a bad guy, so it just felt especially wrong for her to

be so cutting. Several times I thought 'dang, shrewish much?!'. She's not absolutely beastly, but it didn't seem healthy or appealing either. I'll absolutely continue with the series, and I don't expect it to continue to be an issue, but I really doubt I would would ever reread this one.

Irene Deveril runs a newspaper and has found that her advice column is quite popular. Her latest advice is to a lady and once it's printed everyone knows who it is, particularly the son of the lady in question. Henry, Duke of Torquil is certain he can use Irene to stop his mother from doing

something truly stupid. Irene's father is not wealthy and looks on this as an opportunity to get Irene and her sister into society. Irene's ways rankle Henry but after she's treated badly by his family he begins to see that maybe her ways are just her and that she might be somewhat attractive. First he has to get her to forgive him.

Entertaining and interesting look at a clash of cultures.

It's an interesting read
