The Elusive Miss Ellison by Carolyn Miller
3.0
I'm not finished yet. But I should be tonight. The story is nice. But it turns into a sermon.
That's not even the worst for me.
The worst is that the trite conflict gets a overly convenient fix.
The earl is too weak to stand up to his mother. So he wont marry Lovenia. He wont marry her because she is "common "
His mother KNEW she comes from aristocracy on her mother's side! and it didnt stop her from thinking her "unsuitable"
Like his mother's knows. Her aunt knows. His mother and her aunt knew each other in their youth. So I'm going to predict the ending, now that lovenia is in London meeting her estranged genteel family. Getting introductions with her Marques uncle he status will be elevated. And the earl will be surprised and marry her because she wasn't worthy on her own. But now that she is the ton she can be his lady wife. And all is forgiven because the lady is a Christian.
