Nicola and the ViscountAvon 2002
Summary
Nicola, an orphan growing up in Brittan in the early 1800's, is "blown like a thistle in the wind." At first she likes it, because well, let's face it, she's somehow caught the attention of the most handsome and rich bachelor in the world, Lord Sebastian Bartholomew. She doesn't know how she did it, but she did, and is looking forward to a life of eternal bliss, until one day her best friend's brother, Nathaniel, casts doubt on Lord Sebastian's character. The question is does Nicola believe what Nathaniel says about her beloved Lord Sebastian, and if she does, what is she going to do about it?
Personal Review
Personal Review
This book is Meg Cabot for you...full of teenage girl romance-fluff. The language she uses in this book is very romantic. It's the kind of language you might find in a Marcia Lynn McClure book--"Take me in your arms and kiss me!" I personally didn't like it all that much, just because I think it gives girls the wrong idea of what love really is, even though Nicola eventually gets her wits back and realizes what she's gotten herself into, and what love really is. I also think it's a little cheesy and predictable. Overall, it's good for a light, fluffy read, but other than that, there's nothing too deep in it.
Cautionary Notes
There might be a few swear words in the book. Lord Sebastian and his father are also rude to some people.
