A review by jennysjw
Lady of Quality by Georgette Heyer
A lesser version of Black Sheep.
The story really didn’t go anywhere. I had a hard time connecting with the main characters, Annis and Oliver. Maria is supposed to be the annoying character, but I was mostly irritated with Oliver. He was made purposefully rude for no reason at all, and he intimidated those with less power and status than him. I need more reason to like the hero than just the fact that the heroine has inexplicably fallen in love with him. I was mostly invested in the side characters Ninian and Lucilla, but they disappeared from the book without a resolution. None of the subplots were properly concluded.
