The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy

by Julia Quinn
Hennepin County Library audiobook, 8 discs
read by Rosalyn Landor
genre: historical romance

I like Quinn's writing well enough, but this one didn't do much for me.
The secret was not what I expected - better than I thought it would be.
The resolution was blatantly obvious.
The "romance" was disappointing . . . I think because most of the descriptions were about Iris' appearance instead of Richard's. Other than him constantly running his hands through his hair and his dark eyes, we don't get enough of his presence as a romantic figure.
Not sure why I keep investing time in books like this . . . a little escapism, I guess.
