The Spinster next door…
Grace Morledge is a failure. Or so her father believes, as she is unmarried despite her many advantages. In his mind, Grace must have significant flaws to be a spinster, and something must be done about them. To her mortification, he demands she be fully examined and all her flaws recorded. And the man he chooses is the worst possible candidate of all.
Aubrey Flint, Lord Ingram, has known Grace since childhood, but he never anticipated Lord Trenwick demand he examine her for flaws. How can perfection have faults? Reluctantly, he accepts the assignment and finds far more than he bargained for, as perfection becomes more and more tempting.

This book started similarly to all the ones before...it droned on and on about inane things...repetitively. How many times did we need to read that the Hero had yet to call upon the Heroine's family, all within the first several paragraphs of the second chapter? I will say this, then ask a question...I detested the Heroine's father with a passion! He was an utterly detestable man! Now, the question is this: why do most authors have to make one or both parents of the main characters in their stories out to villains? Why can't the parents be loving? Or at the least, likeable? So far, this is the first book in the series that the Hero and Heroine shared a history, as the author proclaims they were neighbors and childhood acquaintances. The fact that the Heroine had a tendre for the Hero when younger, and the fact that the Hero found her pleasing enough to call a "goddess" provided at least a semblance of possible chemistry between the two. Although a bit slow on the romance, the book had a surprising lilt to it that the others in the series lacked. Perhaps it's because the main characters were already acquainted that made it have a smoother readability. Once again, the Author outdid herself with implementing the humor quite liberally throughout the story. While the romance is, once again, lacking (although there is a bit more than the other previous books), the wit is quite well done. I do see that the humor is a necessity in this book due to the theme that is prevalent throughout the story. Who, in their right mind, would ever want to have another person evaluate them for their faults, especially a possible love interest? Twenty-two chapters in this particular volume...and the pace slows and meanders along yet again. It shares the same dull hum drum of its predecessors, with all the repetition of information that's been said time and time again. Perhaps if the author would try to add a bit of chemistry between the main characters, the book(s) wouldn't be so boring. I don't mind the clean nature of the books. Not every love story needs a sex scene, after all. But at least perhaps a stolen kiss or three would be appropriate, even for a clean novel. As chaste as these "clean" novels are, you'd think that the authors are terrified of a stolen kiss or the tiniest hint of passion. Did I mention that I detested the Heroine's father? Well, it bears repeating. The man was absolutely deplorable! He is utterly detestable and he doesn't seem to care a fig for his daughter. He is more worried about how everything makes him look. If this man were a real person, he would deserve to be beaten to a bloody pulp. The ending could have been a bit better. Without giving anything away, it would have been nice to see some closure in certain areas that kind of just went...flat and without certain resolution. While the ending was ok, this book, like its predecessors, didn't make my "Keeper for the Shelves" vote.
