You'd think it would be difficult, even annoying, to read a book with a female lead who's great challenge is her incredible beauty. But somehow Lange created an enviable beauty that is very likeable. Ms. Winslow's inner strength, deep compassion for others and her good heart won me over. This is one of those delightful "un" romance novels where the lead characters fight and argue their way to true love. Corny, but very enjoyable!
She was too beautiful for her own good name
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
If miss Jessica Winslow's remarkable beauty was a blessing, it was one very much in disguise. Every man who saw her wanted to conquer her, and as a paid companion in an aristocratic household, her position was perilous as her pursuers were persistent. There was eager Viscount Andrew Fitzgerald, too young to be taken seriously, but too old for puppy love, the Reverend Mr. Headley, as eminently eligible as he was perfectly boring, and the debauched Lord Alfred Marling, whose title gave his amorous appetite teeth. But most dangerous of all was the magnificent Earl of Roxham, whom Jessica had to convince that she was made not for lust but for love.....This book is definitely worth every penny and you won't regret reading it.
