I think all American romance writers who want to include a Brit in their book use Spike from Buffy as the archetype - and while it worked for him to be all condescending and constantly peppering his speech with "love", "crumpet" and "mate" it isn't actually all that endearing to read. 'The Best Man' was a gazillion times better - hopefully she gets back on track, or else this will be one of those series where I enjoy every second book rather than every book.

The darlings, the assholishness .... he was just not what I was expecting from a contemporary romance novel. She took the British stereotype and turned him into a typical prick. However I loved the family so then after this, I read The Best Man when I returned home. So. Much. Better. Hopefully the rest of her books are more slanted towards that one than this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
