Fortune's Daughter by Dilly Court
2.0

Good grief, this was a long, drawn out, predictable borefest. I’ve always been very sceptical of books by this author as they seem to be all over the shelves in the supermarket, and I find it hard to believe someone can be so prolific and maintain quality. Well, I was right in that assumption. The characters are shallow and the plot is ridiculous. Bloke turns up claiming to own the family castle and they just accept that? Ok then. The heroine is of course beautiful and feisty, the money magically appears when needed and the family have all the stereotypes needed for a historical drama. It all ties up neatly at the end.
Add in the ridiculous number of typos, poor grammar and phrases that are really not right for the time period and I’m left wondering why I bothered to finish it. I suspect the editor didn’t finish it either. It has done nothing to change my opinion of the author and the genre.
