Determined to meet and bed the female who seems to have a firm grasp of the subject, he discovers that she’s Lady Helen Mayberry, beautiful and eccentric daughter of an extremely eccentric earl. Spencer Heatherington, a charter member of the Too-Insufferable-to-Live-Hero club, overhears a conversation between his friend Alexandra Sherbrooke (of The Sherbrooke Bride, still one of my favorite romances) and a mysterious woman, on the subject of discipline.

The Courtship is the third book in a row by this author that’s been a real letdown for me. I’m sorry to report that this is exactly the case for me with Catherine Coulter. But somewhere along the way we changed, or she changed, or both, and the reading experience between author and reader went south. We all have an author or two whom we used to read religiously – she published it, we bought and read it, and for the most part we enjoyed what we read.
