lmmountford 's review for:
The Stranger I Married
by Sylvia Day
I know it's odd to say but 1815-1820 was entirely the wrong setting for this book, 200 years earlier would have been a much better period.
The story itself is quite entertaining so Miss Day has done it again. If you like her other historical stories you'll love this.
For me, however there was just too much talk about age in a relationship where the parties were only a few years apart. This period of history was as careless in regards to age as we are today, if a young nobleman married an older woman it was assumed he did it for her wealth which was so common place it was barely considered gossip, and considering those relationships had a score of years and more separating the pair, a five year span would have hardly raised eyebrows. Honestly, I wonder why miss Day Keeps writing books set in England, here stories here feel so American, they'd be much better served in the colonies.
