[Kathryn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Amanda Westwood enraged her gamester father ruined by Lord Glendarvon, his Lordship decides to pay for her schooling, boarding where Amanda learns to be grateful. Leaving school, & the job she had working there, Amanda lives with an aunt & uncle. Her cousin is a spoiled brat, her Aunt & Uncle treat her like a servant, Amanda can't go back to her position at the school as they've hired some one else. Lord Glendarvon's stepmother visits & views for herself how Amanda is being treated by her family. Discussion with Lord Glendarvon & Amanda is removed from her family's home & presented to society.

This might have been a good romance story, but for: she wrote a gothic romance book may ruin her upon its publishing, Amanda attempts to run away at one point & is rescued by the supposed hero, she is introduced to famous persons of the time period, Lord Glendarvon won't stop with the constant reminder she was enraged at him when she was little girl, her family hates on her she may ruin their society success,...where is the romance? There wasn't any slow romantic development thru the story, just occurrences thrown in. Dull.
