MacLean, Sarah The Season, 352 p. Orchard (Scholatic), March 2009.
MS - ADVISABLE
Lady Alexandra is about to be presented to society and she is not enthused. Her best friends, Ella and Vivi are trying to keep her spirits up, but Alex is dead set against being matched-made by her mama. Then her older brothers' best friend, Gavin, Earl of Blackmoor, comes out of mourning and she begins to see him in another light. What she doesn't know is that danger surrounds Gavin and not just danger of the heart.
MacLean has created a classic romance novel without the bodice-ripping that would keep most such books out of the schools. The romance was nice, with that hint of danger and all three of the girls were delightful; I would love to read Ella and Vivi's own romances. About the only thing I didn't like about the book was the cover, but I read an uncorrected proof, so I can't make any final judgments on that. There are a handful of swears (no "f") that don't jar the narration.
