![]() ![]() Wounded ten years ago on the Peninsula, he has a terrible facial scar and retreated to the country when more than one young miss fainted at the mere sight of him. The marriage was annulled, the perpetrator brought to trial and imprisoned, but ten years later, she is still viewed as “damaged goods.”Īdrian Montfort, the Earl of Mowbray, is pretty much “damaged goods” himself – or at least he thinks so. There is also the matter of her “unfortunate past.” When she was fourteen, she was kidnapped and married over the anvil by a fortune hunter. However, she has done Clarissa no favors, for without her glasses, Clarissa is forever having accidents, gaining a reputation as a graceless idiot, and the nickname “Clumsy Clarissa.” Though lovely and possessed of a good dowry, all her suitors have deserted her, save one elderly man, and she is in danger of losing him when she sets his bagwig afire. She refuses to let Clarissa wear her spectacles – and in fact, broke them in half and threw them away – for she is sure that Clarissa will never find a husband if she’s wearing those horrible, ugly things. ![]() Being practically so myself, I enjoyed reading Clarissa’s story and felt an immediate empathy for the most near-sighted heroine I’ve ever read.Ĭlarissa is in London with her horrid stepmother who is trying to get her married off this Season. Love Is Blind and so is Lady Clarissa Crambray. ![]()
