A hungover Valentine finds himself pursuing Belle to Dover with Bonny by his side. Bonaventure “Bonny” Tarleton expects Valentine to ride out after Belle and to prove to her that he’s not the cold-hearted scoundrel he seems to be. Operating under his deceased father’s desire for Valentine to marry Miss Arabella “Belle” Tarleton, he goes about a rather perfunctory proposal, but unfortunately for him Belle has decided she will not have him and flees into the night determined never to set eyes on Valentine again. We’ve got the story here of Valentine Layton, the Duke of Malvern, and his twin problems: Belle and Bonny Tarleton.
I’ve gone with a 3.5 rounded up for this one. The verdict: mostly quite good with moments of brilliant, but also moments of not good at all. Quickly on the heels of reading Alexis Hall’s Boyfriend Materiallast month I requested Something Fabulous from the library keen to see how Hall’s voice translated from contemporary romance to historical.
