It was a pretty wild year - Rutherford “Rutherfraud” B. We’re well out of the Regency now, and chilling in the mid-Victorian era (1876). The first two Ravenel books are basically back-to-back, but this one skips ahead a few years. When we last left the Ravenels, Pandora was nineteen-going-on-twenty, and the comedy relief of the series. This book is the third in the Ravenels series, and the bajillionth in the Wallflowers-Hathaways-Ravenels ‘verse. I wanted to do this series in order, but I have predictions post-this book, and I wanted to get them out there before the next installment comes out and Lisa Kleypas grinds my dreams to dust.Īnyway, to the book. They’re glorious, delightful fun, and I think they fit in with the rest of the dramatic, tropetastic stuff I like to recap here. So, given my love of telenovelas, I hope no one is particularly surprised by the fact that I also love romance novels.
Dig this cover! I didn’t realize Victorians were cool with the tube top wedding dress look.
