Romance Review: "Whitney, My Love" by Judith McNaught

Time for another "classic" from my collection!

This, dear friends, is the very first romance book I ever read. It made a rather remarkable impression on my tender 12 year old mind and ever since I have harbored a passion to marry a titled man, so that I too can be addressed as "your Grace."

I have to confess - I LOVE THIS BOOK. Love it, read it once a year at least - but I can admit it has flaws - oh yes... dubious... very dubious...

Firstly the Cover! Is there manboob? )

Yes! you too are enthralled by such a cover and can't wait to dive in to experience the promised awesome!

Our Heroine: Hoyden, High Spirited, Scandal-Waiting-To-Happen - SEND HER TO FRANCE! )

He came to a masquerade dressed as the devil himself, how very appropriate! )

What do you mean you sold me? )

OMGWTFBBQ... I didn't just read that )

The melodrama!! *dies from it*

Next up: "Something Wonderful" by the same author aka "Mary Wonder-Sue and the Duke who needs to understand the meaning behind the 'smell of dirt'"
