A fun Regency
If you're tired of the usual plot, consider this intelligent, scholarly lady and the devoted but unlucky agriculturist landowner nobleman as the somewhat less common protagonists. The high point is the quality of the writing. You won't groan at stupid dialog or endless pages of no actual plot, just stirrings of desire. The author floats some ideas about psychology that indicate research.
4 1/2 stars
The premise is a tad farfetched but the story drew me in. I've read it twice now and I liked it better the second time around. Heroine is bit of an underdog but wins the hero over with her goodness, kindness, and intelligence. She makes him be a better person. I enjoyed it and will likely read it again
I enjoy it
It was fun to read I enjoy it was funny romantic it was that I enjoy reading what more can u ask for
Not bad. But...
Miss Winthorpe's Elopement is a classic book of opposites attract. I mean extreme opposites!!This book was more like three and a half stars rather than three. The hero and heroine were completely miss matched but Merrill made it work and that was impressive considering the hero and heroine were COMPLETE opposites. The character development was...good and the secondary characters were really necessary to keep the story moving (which I like in a book). The few things that kept this book from having a five star rating were the meeting of the hero and the heroine, the elopement, and the ending (which wasn't bad just sudden).
The meeting was far fetched and it simply seemed rushed to me. It was almost like the author had no ideas how the two should meet and just threw something in the book. The heroine was likable but somewhat unbelievable she was a strange mix of impulsive and shy and seemed to go to and fro between the two opposite temperaments. There were no questions asked by the heroine before she rushed off and married the hero (like...gee...maybe is he already married? Or something like that.)she quite literally knew nothing about him. Not to mention he was three sheets to wind at the time they met. Just not a smart writing decision, in my opinion, have the two characters meet the way Merrill did. As for the ending it was so abrupt there were some unresolved issues and I would have liked an epilogue to put my mind at rest. The hero was not without his own issues, but he was believable. He was a cad through and through in the past and tired to make up for it without success. The saving grace of this book was the development of the hero and heroine's relationship. It was wholly believable and kind of made up for the meeting. However, overall this book was an easy, light read. I recommend it for a raining day but is definitely not a keeper.
Loved it
This was a very adorable book. Loved how these got together. Really enjoyed reading of Adam and Penelope, enjoyed how their feelings grew each day. Hoped to have read more of them.
