Attention Grabbing: 2/5
Juliet has been a wallflower (at best) ever since an accident gave her a limp several years ago. Any attention she receives is typically derogative and she's sick of it all together. When she meets Lord Deveril, she's surprised at his attention and the assistance he provides in the quest to find her missing friend.
The best I can say about this one is that it had the unique inclusion of how a certain disability would have been dealt with in this time period. The author obviously did the research she could in seeking out the description. But beyond that, I found the plot sort of basic and boring. One of my biggest pet peeves in romances with characters with disabilities is when the able-bodied protagonist sort of falls in love with them based only on their disability? I don't know how else to phrase that, but it seemed like the most critical bonding that the two experienced centered around her uniqueness on that front.
I don't know, very non-memorable. I wouldn't want to trash it too much cause it was definitely good enough to finish I just wanted more from either the mystery or the romance. Ideally both, but even one would've livened things up considerably.
