A review by ribbonquest
The Season by Sarah MacLean

3.0

This is a pleasant enough cotton candy adventure romance. Alex and her friends are all rich, clever, and lovely, with attitudes and interests more suitable to a contemporary setting which sometimes get them into trouble. Their only other problem in life is an excess of suitors and a disinterest in marriage. The murder and intrigue adds a little spice to the formula, except it's all very predictable.

The Season hits most of the Regency romance cliches, but the only one that I found particularly annoying is the "characters love reading Jane Austen books in a Regency romance." Even most of the men have read the novels and Alex has read P&P at least three times.

The ending sets up for an ongoing series but there is no sequel. Sad, I wanted more cotton candy.
