FROM THE PUBLISHER
No woman in her right mind would consent to wearing a corset for a month. Especially a "skinny-challenged" woman like Tessa. But dreams of being debt-free dance in her head at the offer of appearing in a reality TV show. "A Month in the Life of a Victorian Duke" is about real people pretending to live on an English estate, circa 1879. And Tessa's leading man-a real-life Duke-is so handsome she can barely breathe, with or without the corset...

Another Bridget Jone wannabe. Except Tessa Riordan is neither as funny as Bridget nor as endearing. Why do so many chicklit authors believe that the only way to make a book funny is to have the heroine behave like a complete moron? True, Tessa did eventually behave like a sensible adult, but by then the damage has been done. And since there was no legitimate conflict between Max and Tessa- not one that is convincing anyway- I was left feeling bored and frustrated.

And don't even get me started on the purple prose. Some of the lines that came out of Max's mouth will make even the stalwart fans of the 80's style bodice rippers cringe.

I really liked this one a lot. It was wild and crazy. My only complaint is that I'd like to hear more. Did the show go over well when it was aired? What happened to the other people on the show?
