The Lady Disgrace Marriage Mart Mayhem Series Book 3 edition by Callie Hutton Romance eBooks

I would have really liked this book when I was 15 or 16 years old. Now that I'm considerably older I found it melodramatic, repetitive and silly. I tend to prefer characters and plots with more depth and tension. This book did not have that.

I didn't much care for the either of the main characters but the female protagonist, Abigail, was particularly annoying. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice to say that her oft repeated self admonitions about not "giving her heart" to the hero, Joseph started to wear on my nerves. As for Joseph, I found his patient selflessness given Abigail's behavior, a tad unbelievable and would have preferred more realistic reactions from him. There is such a thing as being too patient.

The primary antagonist, apart from Abigail's own ridiculousness, is a jealous community member who has the 'hots' for Joseph and wants to get Abigail out if the way. I found her character and her actions lacking sophistication and wholly unbelievable. There is a great deal that could have been done with this character, but the author tended to use variations on a theme with regard to her threats against the heroine. What was meant to produce tension merely produced predictable diversion.

Bottom line: In my view, the primary problem with this novel is that despite a good premise, the author delivers hackneyed characterization with a writing style that is plodding and simplistic. I found myself easily and often distracted as I worked my way through this book. For me, that is a sure sign of a book I just cannot recommend.

The Lady Disgrace Marriage Mart Mayhem Series Book 3 edition by Callie Hutton Romance eBooks Reviews

Given the title, I really expected more scandal for the lady in question. Instead, the scandal was just sort of. She was jilted, to be sure, but I suspect most of the people would have considered him the problem, and not her, given the little bit of backstory given there.
The plot of the book is fairly standard, and it is well-served by this author. Absent the open information from within the villainess, I would probably not have guessed her with any speed.
The various characters are drawn in as if in pastels, quick strokes like those used by courtroom artists capturing each one as either a whole figure, more, or less; filled in, or just sketched. This skilled use of words results in an almost concentrated story, which is at turns brisk and gentle.
By and large, this is a sweet story, with little sex. However, there are some sexual innuendos, and some sexual situations. In addition, there is some violence, being perpetrated by a quite unlikely person.
Sweet romance featuring a marriage of convenience between childhood friends. Abigail was jilted by her fiance and Joseph happily marries her to save her reputation. Joseph is a rector, and the son of a rector, so he never thought he could win Abigail's hand since she is the daughter of a duke. He is thrilled with his good fortune, but she's determined to guard her heart from being broken again and keeps herself distant from him. Can Joseph win her heart?

The story primarily takes place in the charming village amongst Joseph's congregation. Abigail helps Joseph with setting up a school for the village children, there are neighbors to meet and even a village dance. And while Abigail is finding her place in her new life, someone wants her dead. This is not a mystery as the reader knows up front who the villain is, but there's lots of anticipation of wondering what will happen next and how will it end?

Excellent story and romance. Everything follows a logical progression and moves at a brisk pace. Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I probably wouldn't read it again so rating 4.5 stars.
This book (like the others in this series) grabs your attention and interest from the beginning and never slows down. It moves with just the right tempo and flows like a Beethoven symphony! (That's high praise from me.)--I enjoy this writer's work and the fluid style she uses that has no grammar and/or historical errors that cause a "oh no" moment.
These characters were in the first two books and I knew there had to be a book for Abigail and this fills the bill perfectly. I love the way it starts with Abigail's tears and frustration when her fiancé leaves and marries someone else! The Ton--of course--blames the woman never the man and this reflects the times and the thinking of that time perfectly.
This book is enjoyment from beginning to end and it's such fun to see characters from the novel before this one and meet them and their new son. It makes the characters feel like family that you'd want to belong to and enjoy the highs and lows. ENJOY! I did.
About halfway through book, I realized that I still didn't much about Abigail,the heroine, and less about the hero.
The heroine's sister-in-law demonstrated a charming clumsiness and abiding love for her son. Recollections showed that heroine had a loving mother who spent time playing with her children, and was unlike most aristocratic parents. Conversations about the cad that jilted Abigail clearly outlined his character. And the villain, her background was fully developed. She was only three-dimensional character in the book.

Wish author had put as much time into demonstrating the characteristics of the mains. Aside from the vicar's plans for a school, we know he was a childhood friend of heroine's brother. And ONE childhood prank that the boys played on Abigail was mentioned several times. That's it, just one. We read a lot of Abigail's thoughts about jolting and determination never to love again. Also are privy to many lustful, yet boring, thoughts of hero. Not nearly enough to make me care about either or their HEA.

Must mention that villainess' final attack on heroine was unnecessary to story. And completely ludicrous.
