The Wicked Corinthian (Signet Regency Romance)

Summary: Tough Call
Review: This book frustrated me. The heroine, Emma, is constantly jumping to negative conclusions about the hero, even though she is represented as a level-headed person not given to listening to gossip. She is constantly scolding him for imagined faults and I honestly couldn't read a few of the conversations between them, because she looks so rude and foolish. I couldn't imagine what he saw in her.

To be fair, he does seem awfully coarse in the first chapter, but this is completely at odds with his character throughout the rest of the book and with his apparently chivalrous nature.

It is one of the old-fashioned style novels in which there is misunderstanding and tension until three pages from the end of the book when suddenly new information is revealed, declarations are made and all is well.
