Lord Anthony Neale thinks Eleanor, Lady Scarborough, is a money hungry vixen who married his brother for money and an entry into aristocratic British society. Eleanor finds Anthony to be bossy, cold embodiment of all she hates about English aristocrats. To make matters worse, he and his family blame her for her husband's sudden death, only months after the marriage that they did not attend!
Humor, a spunky heroine and miscues of communication add up to a wonderful read. The suspense element makes for an intriguing fast paced read full of questions. Was Edmund's accidental death truly an accident? Who is this figure watching her in the shadows? Why is someone breaking into her bedroom? What item of value does she have that someone wants? Is Anthony trying to find evidence to discredit her among the aristocracy and ruin her reputation? Does the danger come from some secret of her deceased husband from their days in Naples? Who can she really trust?
The hero and heroine are just delightful and lovable, each in their own way. The character Honoria is so obnoxious and annoying --- I just love her! She exaggerates, she meddles, she criticizes, she expects that everyone treat her like a queen. Of course, she thinks, Edmund should have left his entire estate to her --- and if he didn't surely they will see that her beloved son meant to give her everything!
Not one page here is wasted. Romance, suspense, mystery and historical British society all come together to make this book a real treat. The historical and political background of Naples heighten the suspense and the ambiance.
