Reread.

I was searching my home shelves for something light to read while sick and my eyes fell on this. I have other Heyers I own that I've reread several times; this I got at a book sale and only read once before. It's not bad. Lots of character types and plot points that appear in other Heyers: the gambler brother, the spouses who can't communicate... But it's reasonably cute and charming.

The end is cute. The middle is agonizing

This book is good as a psychological novel about a very young wife struggling in a patriarchal world, but it's bad as a romance novel. Cardross is a jerk to both Nell and Letty; I never got the appeal at all.

Despite the scandalous blemish on his bride's family name, Lord Giles Cardross is convinced that Nell cares for him. But as the bills and debts mount, Giles begins to suspect that his wife isn't as innocent as she looks.
