Worth Any Price by Lisa Kleypas
3.0
No major misteps, enjoyable to read, but bland and predictable. And some many things were just so...convenient. It was odd...and boring.
She focuses on a lot of scenes you've seen a hundred times before, and I remember reading a few things she skimmed over that, if gone into more detail, would have made this a more interesting read.
I did like Nick's audacity and balls in telling Lord R how it was going to be before he was even married. I was intrigued by the thread of him reapplying himself, but that stopped dead (again, no details). I was expecting it in the epilogue, but was disappointed by a trite snippet that tried to tie the whole thing into the book title. Ugh.
The whole "sexually schooled by a madam" thing would have been interesting if it hadn't been so unnecessary and out of place. Instead, it was just weird and a tad icky.
