She doesn't realize how in love he is, because she can't imagine why a sophisticated man of the world would want her. Mainly it's about the interaction between the on-the- shelf young woman, Charlotte, and Rothbury, who wants what he can't have, her. The plot is rather convoluted, which is strange. He was a rake because he had been taught to be one, and really didn't know any other life. Although rakes are not my favorite heroes, there was heart to this hero, so that I liked him, even from the beginning. Rothbury comes from a family of degenerate rakes, and was taught to act the same way his whole life. You see, he didn't think he was good enough for her. She thought of herself as a wallflower, and was stuck on his best friend, Lord Tristan, who saved her mother and herself from a carriage accident, for that whole time.Īdam, who is known as Rothbury for this whole book, watched her grow from a skinny young girl into a willowy young woman, admiring her from afar, even loving her bookish, spectacled appearance. I loved the aspect of the hero, Lord Rothbury, being in love with Charlotte for six long years. I picked this one up as an impulse and was very pleasantly entertained by this story.
