User reviews
None of the period except the trappings were correct, but for once I didn't mind, because I was quite amused throughout!
SETTING: London during the season of the "ton".
HER: A 27 year old who has no other hope than to be a spinster but speaks her mind with intelligence, persistence,
HIM: 39 and with a mother who reminds him that an heir is needed. He hates chitter chattering females that only want to "talk" about the latest fashion and the latest social event.
WHAT I LIKED: Learning by way of "SCIENTIFIC" exploration.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: I get it !!!! I know that you see yourself as a spinster so stop mentioning it every 5 seconds.
