Something About Emmaline Avon Romantic Treasures Elizabeth Boyle 9780060549312 Books

It's hard to figure where to begin. The premise sounds like great fun--and it might have been except for the unfortunate casting.

Our hero starts out as a regular person of ordinary intelligence, personality, and common sense. He is not one of those heroes of great depth and hidden sterling qualities, but he seems normal enough. He doesn't have much sense in choosing friends and wasn't particularly gifted in some of his relatives but, up to the time the story starts, he manages.

Emmaline is drop-dead gorgeous. She is also a liar, a cheat, a crook, a blackmailer--absolutely charming. The hero uses up the apparently limited supply of common sense he'd been allotted by being indignant at the position she has put him in. It's hard to feel sorry for him. People who look for trouble and find it, are not victims but we have to make certain allowances for plot vehicles in romantic fiction.

He then proceeds to fall madly in love with her and the reader is supposed to think that this is rational or believable? Emmaline is the one with a mentally-ill mother (so if you're prone to think that a difficult life excuses any behavior or that she is genetically challenged she's, more or less, covered) but he's supposed to reasonably sane. What is his excuse?

By the end of the book (if you make it that far) there are "unexpected" (and equally ridiculous) resolutions to everyone's problems. Except Alex, of course, who is in for a lifetime of grief (and will be poor before long) and doesn't seem to realize it.

Something About Emmaline Avon Romantic Treasures Elizabeth Boyle 9780060549312 Books Reviews

I loved this book. I love Elizabeth Boyle's writing style to begin with but did know this book existed. It is simply delightful! If you want a book with many funny twists & turns, this is the book for you.
I didn't find the premise of this story very plausible but I was entertained enough not to care. I liked that it was different from the many cookie-cutter romances I have read. I liked both the hero and heroine and I was happy to see them overcome some fairly insurmountable odds. I thought the ending was wrapped up a little to neatly and the antagonists dispatched too easily. Otherwise, I enjoyed this book.
Alexander Denford led a regimented life and was tired of fending off the matchmaking mama's and his family's insistence that he marry and set up his nursery. So with the assistance of his best friend Jack, they found Alexander the perfect wife, Lady Emmaline Denford. The fact that no one ever saw this paragon of virtue was immaterial as she simply did not exist other than as the figment of the two friends imagination. This arrangement has worked beautifully until Alex was made aware of bills piling up for goods that were ordered by his fictious wife, Lady Emmaline.

Setting off for London, to confront his `wife' Alex finds bogus Lady Emmaline to be nothing like the image he'd conjured up of a plain, sickly, meek and dutiful wife he'd circulated tales of. His `wife' was not only `gloriously' beautiful, but she was not about to disappear as Alex intended. As the two battle over Alex trying to send her packing and Emmaline digging in her heels, Alex finds that having such a luscious morsel to come home to isn't really all that bad an idea!

This was an absolutely entertaining story that kept a smile on my face from the very beginning to the very surprising end! It gives meaning to the adage - `you reap what you sow'! From Emmaline, who I absolutely adored, to the numerous and entertaining secondary characters my chuckles continued non-stop. Whether prequel or sequel to anything else this talented writer has produced makes not a bit of difference in what was to me a completely stand-alone and totally delightful read that I highly recommend.
"Something About Emmaline" is one of the most delightful little books I have come across in a while. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it requires a certain suspension of disbelief there at the end of the book, as though the author just wants to wrap things up. However, by the time you get there you actually really just like the characters enough to just roll with the ending. If you are just looking for a funny, quirky escape, then this is for you. This book will tickle you if you'll let it. However, if you are looking for a completely historically accurate example of aristocracy in the late blah, blah, blahs, you may need to keep on moving.
I loved his incompetence (couldn’t get his horrid cousins out of the house) in contrast with his masterful ways. He was both just the way people are. I loved the humor—making up a wife so the marriage mart would leave him alone was just fun!
I hated ,as I always do, the “demmed, gel “ type of speech. I really hated him “grinding his jaw back and forth”. I mean, really? NO ONE does that....and if they did how very peculiar and unattractive that would be! Does she mean clinching his jaw? Can’t figure that one out
This is a lovely fairy tale romance. Perfectly insane, not a bit of realism, but sweet, interesting and fun. I know that it seems shallow, but I enjoy books that are light and fun and this book fits that criteria. It is a bit like 'The Importance Of Being Ernest' which is one of my favorite plays and movies....any version.

I enjoy the way the Heroine perplexes and frustrates the Hero, I enjoy the way the Hero reluctantly falls in love. This book is a happy afternoon of banter and light hearted fun. There is a place for wit, fun and goodness in this world. if you find that you need a break from reality and want to remember that sometimes the Good Girls do win, try this book. It is a cool drink on a hot day or a warm cocoa on a winter's day.....lighthearted good fun even the secondary characters are surprising and enjoyable and add a pleasurable dimension to the story and main characters as well.
