Agatha Trumwell is a woman beyond her season.  She sees herself as a Plain Jane with no hope of securing a husband.  While at a party she, finds herself overhearing some snobbish women in the bathroom talk of “The Monster” Lord Leighton. Lord Leighton was scarred in a fire when he tried to save his wife.  Agatha has never met Lord Leighton, but she can’t standby and allow someone’s reputation to be torn to shreds.  She steps in and finds herself defending his honor to the senseless twits.

 

 

Existing the bathroom, Agatha haphazardly loses her glasses.  Without them the world is a blurry mass of unrecognized faces and objects.  Agatha is saved from an unknown man’s voice that helps her retrieve her glasses.  He leaves in a sudden rush and the darkness of the shadows keep his identity a mystery.

 

Within days of the incident, Agatha is stunned when her father informs her that he has received a marriage proposal for her hand.  She also learns the kind man who helped her retrieve her glasses is the same man who's honor she defended, Lord Leighton.  She finds herself intrigued by Lord Leighton’s marriage proposal and readily accepts.

 

Marriage with Lord Leighton is one where she finds herself tearing down the thick walls he has placed over his heart.  She is determined to be his wife in every way possible. 

 

There is one who is determined that the couple’s marriage will not be long lived.  They plot to ensure that Agatha meets with the same fate as Lord Leighton’s former wife.  Will they succeed in their sinister plan to destroy Agatha’s growing love before it fully is given a chance to succeed?

 

NOTHING TO COMMEND HER is an exceptional historical novel.  It provides all the elements needed to make it an award winning novel.  Agatha’s determination to win Lord Leighton’s heart is why I love to read romance books because no matter what obstacle the hero/heroine faces, they always manage to overcome any obstacle that is placed in their path.  I highly recommend this book to any individual who has a true appreciation for how a historical romance should be written.
