- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Well, this was the most disappointing Maya Rodale novel that I've ever read. This second book in the Cavendish family series was tedious and lacked the characteristic wit and charm that I've come to associate with Rodale's usually well-written historical romances.Lady Amelia Cavendish, the heroine of "Chasing Lady Amelia," was first introduced in "Lady Bridget's Diary," #1 in this series. In that book, Amelia had disappeared for a day before returning to her family, not sharing a single detail of where she'd been or what she'd done during her time of disappearance. Knowing that "Chasing Lady Amelia" was going to fill in this gap, I was eager to hear Amelia's story. How disappointing, then, to read about Amelia's day and realize that it was just going to go on and on. I don't want to include any spoilers, so I will just say that I was bored with the entire storyline, and the chemistry between Amelia and the hero was lacking.I hope that #3 in this series, "Lady Claire Is All That," will be much better. I'm still willing to give Rodale's books a chance because I've ready many of her books and always been entertained and charmed. I'm going to call "Chasing Lady Amelia" an anomaly, and hope for the best for Rodale's future books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lady Ameila would much rather be in breeches and riding in the American West rather than being in uncomfortable shoes and corset (she really should get herself fitted for a proper corset! They shouldn't hurt if they're properly fitted! Sigh!) and where she keeps accidentally, and occasionally on purpose, breaking the rules. She wants to enjoy herself and when she wakes up in an unfamiliar bed after getting dosed with opium to "calm her down" she decides to seize the day. With Alistair Finlay-Jones she enjoys herself, not realising that he's under orders to marry her. He feels obliged to, but also very attracted to her and wants her in his life. But when she realises the truth will she be able to forgive him for hiding it.It's an interesting story with many layers and you can see how misunderstanding and complications could cause issues, I enjoyed it.
