That Perfect Someone by Johanna Lindsey

I've been rather neglectful in the posting... probably just because the last two books I've read were candy - easy in and easy out. Quick and sweet.

That Perfect Someone by Johanna Lindsey is exactly that, quick and sweet. It's the story of a fake French Pirate (who's actually an English Lord) who accidentally falls in love with the woman he's bethroved to. It's a Malory story, and its nice that though they've run out of Malory siblings to write about, they've found someone interesting and compelling and funny to read about. This one is actually really sweet, and has a hint of some of Lindsey's old books. Her last book was rather unplausible and her main character wasn't as likeable. But this one was much better. Still implausible but cute. The antagonist in this novel is the pirate's father who is forcing him to marry for the girl's money... money he wanted so he could buy specialty art vases... Implausible, but the characterization was properly severe.
