Heiress Without A Cause: Muses of Mayfair #1 by Sara Ramsey
4.0
This book was good, for a Regency romance, except for one small detail... I couldn't stand Lady Madeleine Vaillant, the female protagnist. I found her to be selfish, whiny and unbelievably self-centered. Not to mention ridiculous for her reasons in passing up "Ferguson" Avenel, the Duke of Rothwell, when he made his first heartfelt attempt at winning her heart.
I must say, Ferguson, despite (or maybe because of) his contentious relationship with his family, is a complex, wonderfully written character, one of the stronger male protagaonists I've come across in a Regency romance. Secondary characters are wonderfully written, and I see a multitude of possibilities for story offshoots, although at this point, I think there are only 2 more already written, one involving Madeleine's cousin Amelia and the other, Rothwell's sister, Elle.
This book is worth a read, if only to drool over Rothwell, who despite his past, has no problem expressing how he really feels about Madeleine. She is one lucky almost on the shelf spinster, and I'm glad she finally realized it.
