Blame It on Bath by Caroline Linden
4.0
Part #2 of the Durham Dilemma, focusing on the blackmail angle. Gerard and Kate's story doesn't have the instant-lust aspects that Edward and Francesa's did, but has a very real-world feel which I liked.
A few aspects of Northanger Abbey/Persuasion were included - appropriately, since the novel was set primarily in Bath.
Now that Charlie has bestirred himself (and his broken leg healed in a month? six weeks? that's pretty fast) we'll have to wait until August to see if the brothers put the Durham Dilemma to rest or the odious cousin wins out.
