The Convenient Marriage, by Georgette Heyer

[sophia_sol]

I think I may have read this book once before, long long ago, but could not remember what I thought of it so had to make a second go at it. And, well, this will never count among my favourite Heyers and in fact didn't find it worth reading.

It's Heyer at her most Heyerish: an ingenuous 17 year old female lead, a masterful 35 year old male lead, a lot of unnecessary hijinks involving secondary characters who are very foolish, and not a lot of proof that the leads could have a successful happy relationship between people who like each other.

Which is too bad, because I'm usually there for romances involving a marriage of convenience! This just....isn't much of a romance.
