Now in London for another season, Honoria is desperate to get a husband and leave her lonely home. Honoria, the youngest of the children, tagged along after her brother and his friend on their adventures. Being an only child, Marcus was enfolded into the Smythe-Smith clan and got his first taste of family. Honoria Smythe-Smith and Marcus Holroyd, Lord Chatteris, have been friends since Marcus met her brother Daniel at school. The young debutantes who are about to make their come-out to the ton don’t mirror today’s girls who emulate Lady Gaga or talk about sex on their cell phones in public places. Traditionally Quinn’s characters reflect their time. I’m in the camp of those who appreciate her books. Very few readers walk away without an opinion on whether Quinn’s writing is enjoyable or not. Consequently, even though some of her plots are gritty and hard-hitting and some of her characters are conflicted, controversy reigns over her novels.
