A Surprisingly Entertaining Novel

Lisabeth Montague is just out of mourning for her husband and re-entering the ton, when she is called on by one of her late husband's relatives to help a Lord Tristan Radcliffe learn the ways of polite society, and to find him a bride. Lisabeth is expecting a young boy barely out of short pants, but what arrives on her doorstep is a man who has been crippled in the Napoleonic Wars. As the Season gets underway, Lisabeth dutifully sticks to her agreement to find him a deb to wed, but what she really wants is to wed him herself.LORD RADCLIFFE'S SEASON is a delightful book, mainly because Ferguson writes it so well. She manages to create sexual tension between the characters, even though there's no sex, and carries it through to the end, concluding with a fairly tense climax and a satisfying ending. Radcliffe, though insufferably rude in the beginning of the novel, becomes genuinely likable as the story progresses, and one can't help but WANT these two to be together, because they're so obviously right for each other.Another wonderful read from Ferguson that left me smiling at the finish, and one I would definitely recommend, even to those who aren't fans of the genre.
