Testing Miss Toogood

Fleur Toogood has been charged with finding a good match. This involves being squired around town by Lord Dominic Elliot. He's not impressed with this but he is amused by her list of essential qualities. A list that Fleur is becoming to realise is difficult to find a man to match with. As time goes on she starts to realise that Dominic is probably as close to perfect as she is going to find.

It was entertaining and the two main characters caught my interest.

This was a typical romance novel. Good for passing the time on a flight to your vacation. But it seemed a bit contrived and didn't completely draw me into the world of the characters as the best romance novels do.

After reading some other reviews I expected this to be a really bad book, but I did enjoy this one. The book didn't really have anything "new", but it was well done.

Fleur Toogood era hermosa, obstinada y tenía la desastrosa costumbre de decir lo que pensaba. Por si fuera poco, se negaba rotundamente a casarse sin amor. Sin embargo, como segunda de las cinco hijas del reverendo Toogood, Fleur cargaba con la responsabilidad de casarse con un buen partido para mejorar la fortuna de la familia. De modo que, para aplacar a su padre, Fleur accedió a dejarse acompañar por todo Londres por lord Dominic Elliot, su protector, un hombre reservado que sólo se interesaba por ella para darle irritantes consejos. Fleur, consciente de que ningún pretendiente podría satisfacer sus exigencias, había confeccionado “La Lista”, que consistía en una serie de preguntas destinadas a evaluar el potencial de un show more hombre como marido. Pero, pese a todos los caballeros que la pretendían, Fleur no tardó en comprender una dolorosa verdad: el único hombre que la satisfacía lo suficiente como para despertar su interés, era el propio Dominic. show less
