CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Although a short read of 180 pages, I found I enjoyed this sweet clean romance between two dominate personalities. The writing is clear, clean, and the story-line progresses smoothly. Ridley included all the elements needed to craft an attention holding enjoyable book for an afternoon of reading relaxation.
Ridley created a strong independent woman in Amelia during a time period of woman's repression. Amelia understands the art of controlling and managing people with grace and finesse. Lord Sheffield's character is typical for his time, however as time progresses, he sees Amelia as a sweet determined woman with a loving personality. I enjoyed watching Amelia managing Sheffield, but watch out, Amelia just might find herself managed and maneuvered as well.
Also, the pace of the storyline's on target as it transitions from one scene to another smoothly. Ridley's development of the characters throughout the book's fine. I loved watching these two dance around each other as they came to understand their feelings and each other.
Finally, in concluding my regency historical romance novel review of The Viscount's Christmas Templeton, I found a well-written story-line, believable characters, and sweet clean romance which had no need of sex to satisfy the reader. The book will provide an entertaining afternoon read.
