maryberry42 's review for:
The Lady Rogue
by Jenn Bennett
3.5 stars rounded up
The first half of this book read like a bad 90's rom-com, but the second half picked up and was a fun read. I found the speech patterns of the characters to be very distracting... I would have rated this higher if they actually spoke like they were from 1937 instead of using terminology and speech patterns that came into favor later (like "strung-out", which started being used to refer to someone who is addicted to something in the late 1950's).
