Lady's Choice

by Judith Nelson

After yet one more escapade the Earl of Forkham gives his daughter Fredrica an ultimatum: Marry her childhood friend Anthony or be banished forever to the care of Great Aunt Honoria who lives in Bath and keeps thirty-seven cats and a pug. Frederica is certain Anthony will not offer marriage but that is until his father 'leans' on him. Anthony is made to understand that either he offers for Frederica or he is banished to live with his do-gooder uncle in Brazil. Reluctantly betrothed to each other, Anthony and Frederica cast about for a way out of the engagement that doesn't mean either Bath, Brazil or marriage.

"Manningham was growing impatient and thanking his lucky stars he never had to be as young as these children again"

Equation for Death by Boredom: Heroine was Spoiled and Immature + Hero Needed to Grow Up = A Romance with Little Chemistry

Fredericka "Freddie" and Anthony are coerced into a betrothal after both fathers tire of their adult children's antics. The characters were incredibly uninteresting. For the most part I enjoy Regency romances but even this story grated on my nerves. If you enjoy old-school Regencies, buy it on the cheap, have a couple of hours to kill, this might do in a pinch. Enough said!
