Judge Based On Books The Bargain (Regency #1)

I couldn't stand the heroine in this book. She was a real brat. She was contemplating an affair with Rafe, Duke of Candover (the jerk hero from Petals in the Storm) while married to the hero. The poor guy survived his war wounds to come home to a wife like her. (big sneer). Not one of MJP's best. But decent, considering how much I disliked the heroine.

It wasnt amazing but it wasnt terrible either, tbh I just wanted to read a historical romance and this fit the bill. As a whole, I did like the premise, its pretty unusual and original. In a genre where the books tend to be similar enough for me to confuse different book plots, that is definitely a plus. I also came to like Jocelyn and Sarah (although I dont know if this was just because the latter

I wanted to rate this book better because I so enjoyed reading Mary Jo Putney. Re-reading this book reminded me of fond memories of reading these relatively "older" authors, who I have loved since a young girl. One of my favorite books is her masterpiece and I remember almost every little detail in that book, which I read at least 15 years ago. But that is not this book. I have read The Bargain before and my feeling toward the book has remained the same. It is not a poorly written book. Not at

Okay, this is another take on the oft used theme of a marriage of convenience but when it is portrayed with such heartfelt emotion it takes on another dimension. Even though the original purpose was to keep her inheritance, Lady Jocelyn Kendal hadnt made the decision lightly, or alone. While visiting an officer recuperating at the soldiers hospital he suggested a rather morbid solution to her problem. His fellow officer Major David Lancaster, was dying from his Waterloo wounds and was uneasy at
