Lord Langley Is Back in Town by Elizabeth Boyle

2.0

It takes a long time to get started. The introduction of a set of atrocious "Nanny" whatevers (Lord Langley's ex-mistresses who are all titled Continentals) just about killed the book in the first fifty pages. Then there is the not-dead Lord Langley and his amnesia/the rumor that he committed treason. Then there is the Minerva's secret subplot which was unnecessary considering that no one really cared in the end. Then some odd subplot involving Minerva's aunt's husband. By the time everything was explained/put into place we were near the end of the book and it seemed perhaps only a week had passed (romance novels often have implausible timelines but this one really felt rushed). I hadn't read the previous books in the Bachelor Chronicles (wasn't needed since there was a lovely family tree and enough exposition to fill in the blanks) and I'm not of a mind to now.
