I agree with everyone elses posts. This was my first Enoch and probably my last. I had to force myself to read through at times. Josafina was a disappointing character, and what was up with her mother?

I have to agree. This book was a complete disappointment. The only redeeming parts were where Valentine and Eleanor were mentioned. If not for that, this book should get an F. Truly awful.

I was wondering if I should get this or not. I’m thinking “meh”.

Same here Robin, I couldn’t get past Sin and Sensibility and I didn’t feel like reading the rest of the seires. I’m glad I didn’t too, after reading this review and the ones for the other two books.

I tried the first book in her contemp series but it didn’t grab me so I gave up on that too.

Ms Enoch is not for me, I think. I don’t seem to be able to connect with or care for her characters and plots.

I tried to read Sin and Sensibility but it was a DNF for me. Since then I have been afraid to try anything else by Enoch, but I hear her contemporaries are good. Which makes sense to me, since S & S read waaayyy too modern for me as a historical. I’m not sure whether that’s what made the prose feel stilted to me, but it could have been.

Josefina – she was such a bland character that was supposed to be more interesting given her duplicitous purpose but it all seemed so contrived.

I had no idea, Kay. How funny.

I read an excerpt at the end of Not Quite a Lady. I couldn’t believe the “name” of the supposed South American country. “Habichuela” is a kind of bean, a rather ordinary one. Bean Coast?

I have to agree with your review…I felt that there was no chemistry between Josefina and Sebastiian. I would have liked to have seen a little more interaction between Josefina and Peeps to make her a little more likable. In my opinion her father was a little full of himself and I would have liked Sebastation to really knocked him down more than one peg. I felt that Josefina was not worthy of Sebastian.

The Griffin siblings….Shay, Nell and Zach show their love and support for Sebastian. And how protected they still are with each other.
