Miss Delcourt II Another Light, Fun Read
9:31 PM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
It's been a week since 21-year-old Ginerva "Ginny" Delacourt became engaged to marry the debonair Sir Anthony Crenshaw and she couldn't be more thrilled. So deliriously happy is she that nothing can drag her down from the clouds on which she floats. Until Sir Anthony's cousin dies, leaving Sir Anthony as the "recalcitrant heir to death, duty, and the Duke of Marcross" (2). The event calls everything into question—Sir Anthony's future, his feelings toward Ginny and, most especially, their upcoming nuptials. Ginny can only stand helplessly by, her heart torn to shreds, while Sir Anthony decides what to do.
The last thing Sir Anthony wants is the heavy responsibility that comes with his soon-to-be elevated status. He would much rather frolic in the countryside with Ginny than play society games with London's elite. But that is not to be, not if Sir Anthony's uncle has his way. According to the ailing Duke of Marcross, Sir Anthony must choose a wife worthy of the title Duchess—not a lowly minister's daughter like Ginny Delacourt.
As much as Sir Anthony loves Ginny, he knows he cannot cross his uncle, especially not while the man lays on his deathbed. So, when the Duke comes up with a proposal of his own, a way for Sir Anthony to win the Duke's approval to marry Ginny, Sir Anthony doesn't hesitate. The tasks required of him are impossible, but he has to try. Whether it results in injury, even death, Sir Anthony will make sure that Miss Delacourt finally has her day.
Like Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind, this second novel in the series is a fun, lighthearted Regency romance. The characters may not be wholly original, but they're likable and compelling. The plot gets silly at times, but really, Miss Delacourt Has Her Day is lots of fun. I enjoyed this light, easy read about a resolute young woman, her dashing fiancee and all the loops through which they have to leap before they can achieve their Happily Ever After.
(Readalikes: Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind by Heidi Ashworth)
Grade: B-
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG for mild sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: I bought a copy of Miss Delacourt Has Her Day from Amazon with a portion of the millions I make from my lucrative career as a book blogger. Ha ha.
