Review

'Quinn has a smart, funny touch ... that's reminiscent of Helen Fielding' Time Magazine 'reminiscent of Bridget Jones' Time Magazine --Time Magazine

'smart, funny' --Time Magazine

'Delightful' --Nora Roberts


Product Description

Engaged to the future Duke of Wyndham since she was just six months old, Amelia Willoughby is beginning to get tired of waiting for Thomas Cavendish, the oh-so-lofty duke, to decide it's finally time to get married. But as she watches him from afar, sharing the occasional dance and making polite conversation, she has a sneaking suspicion that he never thinks about her at all...Thomas rather likes having a fiancee ? all the better to keep the husband-hunters at bay ? and he does intend to marry her eventually. But just when he begins to realise that his bride might be something more than convenient, Thomas's world is rocked by the arrival of his long-lost cousin, who may or may not be the true Duke of Wyndham. And if Thomas is not the duke, then he's not engaged to Amelia. Which is the cruelest joke of all, because this arrogant and illustrious duke has made the mistake of falling in love...with his own fiancee!

3.0 out of 5 stars The other half of 'The Lost Duke of Wyndham', 1 Oct 2008
By Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
'The Lost Duke of Wyndham' was a disappointing read in some ways, with several scenes unexplained as they were to be the focus of this book. I looked forward to reading 'Mr Cavendish, I Presume' as I was rather interested in what would become of Thomas, the former Duke of Wyndham, and how he would end up with Amelia Willoughby. These questions were answered by this book but, sadly, there wasn't much else new or interesting in it. Many of the scenes are the same as in 'The Lost Duke of Wyndham', although from either Thomas's or Amelia's point of view (rather than Grace or Jack's), and the whole book felt rather repetitive. We experienced the same events a second time from a slightly different point of view with a few different insights into what was happening, but there wasn't much else to the book. Someone who hasn't read the previous book would be able to follow the events in this one easily enough as most scenes are explained so it doesn't seem to matter in which order they are read.

Thomas did come across as a rather more likeable character than the rather ineffectual chap of the previous book. Amelia was a good, strong character in this story, caged by her family's expectations of her and worried, at least initially, that she's marrying a man who barely even notices her. As the book moved forward and it appeared Thomas would no longer be the duke there were some interesting moments as he imagined his life without this enormous part of his identity but overall the story felt thin in places. Julia Quinn has a sparky, lively writing style which is good to read if often historically inaccurate. I was pleased with the way in which she portrayed Thomas's overarching sense of honour but the overall feeling from this book was that it contained too much repetition from the previous book and not enough new scenes to make it entirely worthwhile reading. I think the pair of books would have worked better merged into one overall story but it was a reasonable read for a rainy summer's afternoon.

2.0 out of 5 stars a bit disappointing, 12 Oct 2008
By M. Stone "mstone" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the previous review, I'm a big fan of Julia Quinn and thought the idea of telling the same story from different perspectives a clever technique but felt a bit cheated by this book, whole chunks of the The Lost Duke of Wyndham were repeated almost verbatim and so I felt like this book wasn't offering much that was actually different. I read the Lost Duke first and this straight afterwards so maybe I would not have noticed so much if I'd read them with more time in between.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, 5 Nov 2008
By Joe (UK) - See all my reviews
Just read The Lost Duke of Wyndham and skip this book! Amelia is such a weak character, she is just plain NOT interesting. Like previous reviews, it is all repetition. It was like reading the The Lost Duke of Wyndham AGAIN. Don't buy it, waste of money.

Not one of Julia Quinns best novels. The "heroine" of the story is not a particularly interesting or likeable character and the storyline a little weak. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing; it repeats the Lost Duke of Wyndham
While a small amount of repeating the Lost Duke of Wyndham would be necessary for consistency, repeating 80% of the whole book is not. Read more
