April Lady by Georgette Heyer
3.0
Sweet, but not nearly as good as [b:The Convenient Marriage|32106|The Convenient Marriage|Georgette Heyer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386919934s/32106.jpg|3183163] which has a similar plot at heart (older nobleman, much younger wife, ? marriage of convenience but also love) but falls short. Cardross isn't as droll as Rule, Nell is far more of a pea-goose than Horry (who is just as funny as she is naïve, Letty is annoying, and Dysart far more of an idiot than Winwood.
And as much as Heyer does dialogue so well there is a scene with two drunk Blades that goes on and on and on just when we need the plot to move.
Also, no dueling scene.
