Book Reviews of His Favorite Mistress: A Novel
Book Review: Uninspired and bland
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed the first two books of this trilogy, especially the first. However, it seems that the author ran out of inspiration and wrote this book only to fulfill an obligation. These are the main reasons why I disliked this novel:
-The heroine is only 17 years old and I believe that the hero is well over 30. It is difficult to see any real compatibility, except for the physical attraction and what the author TELLS us about their personalities.
-The heroine is illegitimate and the niece of an illegitimate rich man that bought a title in a previous novel, yet it is very easy for her to "take" in high society and aside from a few mishaps she does not have any real difficulties in being accepted by the ton.
-As a previous reviewer noted, I also have a problem with the constant use of flashbacks in the narrative and the constant appearance of the characters of the first two books of the trilogy. It only reinforces my suspition that the author had to struggle to reach the required word count and resorted to all kinds of tricks to achieve her objective.
-The writing is corny and the prose is purple. It failed to take me in and make me forget the outside world.
I may give this author another chance, but I will wait to read many reviews before I buy any of her books.
