More About This Book

Overview

When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated. She’s exactly what he’s been searching for—a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast—and soon proposes marriage.

 

And then she disappears without a trace…

 

For in reality, the “baroness” is Venetia Easterbrook—a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised—and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked…

    Beguiling the Beauty by Sherry Thomas It was in her usual intri

    Beguiling the Beauty by Sherry Thomas

    It was in her usual intricate, dense writing style, but the conflict came down to a misunderstanding - or a series of them.

    The hero, the Duke of Lexington, was in awe of Venetia's beauty since they were teenagers and he spotted her across a crowded cricket pitch. She was already married and her husband was a jealous ass who treated her like crap, gave expensive gifts to his mistresses, and went bankrupt trying to get rich to prove himself. Her second husband was gay and she helped cover it up by pretending to have an affair with the husband's lover. But the Duke hears the mean gossip and believes it all – adolescent sour grapes. His character was simplistic and immature to me.

    Just an aside here about her terrible burden of great beauty: as a person of average looks and less-than-average grace and poise, it's hard to be sympathetic. But from the time she was a teenager she was forced by circumstances to believe all she had going for her was being gorgeous, so she worked very hard at it. She neglected her interest in science, even though she and her siblings had uncovered a dinosaur skeleton when they were just kids. So this aspect of her character ended up working for me, mostly.

    Instead of finding out if she was really as awful as the (late) husband said or her second husband's family said (they were jerks), the Duke just decided she – like all beautiful women – was evil and money-grubbing and had nothing else going for her but beauty. So during question time for a lecture in the US, he uses her as an example of why beauty is bad, without using her name. But she's at the lecture with her sister and sister-in-law and there are some mean-spirited gossips who spread the story.

    The heroine decides to seduce him, so veils herself and takes the same steamer back to England, only making love in the dark or with him blindfolded. But instead of whipping off her veil and saying “You stink”, she falls in love with him. And do real people really say they're going to seduce someone and dump them? Is that a valid form of revenge? "I hate you, so let's have sex." I mean, for anyone over the age of nineteen?

    It didn't have the depths of angst you usually get in Thomas' books. And instead of unfolding and unrolling and intensifying the problems, it felt more like she was just repeating them in more or less the same words. Then it was all solved when he realized he was a jerk and she rushed in to tell him she loved him anyway. The stand-off with the gossips who are complaining that they never get a story wrong felt contrived, though it brought the couple together.

    But a not-so-great Thomas book is better than a lot of other books. The characters were well-drawn and the heroine complex and deeper than her pretty face.

    I give it a solid B.

    P.S. Based on the excerpt at the end of her next book about the heroine's brother and sister-in-law, it's going to be painful and angtsy. Does it make me a bad person to want Thomas' characters to suffer? Because Thomas does suffering so well.

    Two flawed people find love

    This was a good book and i enjoyed it but it wasn't anything to write home about. I enjoyed the cool scientist vibe from the Duke but Venetia kind of left me cold. She was the best with her family but itdidn't make me want to cheer on her love life. Her counterpart however was great. Although these two characters were flawed i was happy they ended up with each other in the end...

    Felt like the characters came together and then resolved things

    Felt like the characters came together and then resolved things too quickly. Used to more of a slow burn and building tension with Ms. Thomas's writing. Maybe she was too rushed, trying to pump out three books this year....
