Another faintly ridiculous and OTT romance by Ms Cartland this delivers on all the tropes you would expect If you go in thinking you will get something different you will be disappointed Since I am very well aware of what I get when I pick up a Barbara Cartland romance I ended up enjoying this all the tropes which has made her one of my brain dead favourites are here The lovely na ve stammering heroine and the perfect heroOur heroine is named Shimona and she is the daughter of an obviously negligent father who is a theatre actor Ms Cartland once again somehow manages to find the worst names for her heroine Who names their kids this In England no less She also glosses over the autocratic and hypocritical nature of her father who has basically isolated his daughter and kept her na ve and clueless The heroine has no idea her life was different and that she might as well have been living on a desert island for all the contact the had with people Of course this is all to keep her pure and untainted Or something eually ridiculous Ah well I expected as muchHer hero was much better and he did a beautiful job grovelling near the end so I gave this a three stars as I did smile through the book I thought he was going to be an ass as he was trying to trick his relative but I didn t let things like morals bother me in the endAll in all a pleasant time pass Don t expect huge innovation but lovers of tropes or tripes will enjoy thisPs There were 8 pages of theatre history in this slim book I guess putting history in a historical is probably a good thing Maybe

This is one of the first Barbara Cartland s novels that I read in high school as a part of my exploration of the historical romance genre It was uite exciting for my teenager self I love history lesson at school and so I felt educated by her novels Since reading her novels my daydreams changed setting usually to a British countryside set in Victorian era or during the Napoleonic warHowever after reading 3 of her novels I recognized a recurring pattern that Dame Barbara used in probably all of her novels After reading 7 I was sureIt s always about a vanilla heroine met a colorful and usually socially powerful hero The story may set in a different time and place few occasion it happens in a made up east European country But the plot is always the same The climax is always followed by having the heroine misunderstood something that makes her ran away SO then the last chapter was dedicated to describe the devastation that the girl experienced for loosing her true love Some promised herself that to never marry At last suddenly said true love came knocking her door Then they kiss a blissful kiss that made her hallucinate about angels paradise the light of heaven etc Then the endWell though it s fun to read one of her I d say if you re an adult don t expand your reading list with her books Nowadays we have writers as funny and smart as Julia uinn as elouent with words as Sherry Thomas and so many others who in the presence of cliched romantic scene still try to innovate their works Though of course having several explicit scenes made their works are not appropriate for children below the consent age or say your book club at churchAnyway Dame Barbara Cartland did matter greatly in this genre Well I think she was the one who create and used up all of the cliches in her hundreds penned novels
