The last bachelor

The last bachelor is a thoroughly amusing love story with surprising hidden depths, no doubt because it is rooted in actual history. It is the story of two strong-willed, opinionated opponents: one, a widow who traps unsuspecting males into matrimony with other helpless widows in order to secure their future, and the other, a Lord who has disdain for women due to his limited experiences with them and who would change the laws of the land based on those prejudiced stereotypes. Both are clever, and the female lead is, at times, allowed to dominate. I especially enjoyed the scene when she makes him wear a corset to do women's work. But with every good romance, they eventually come together in the end after each does a 180 degree change of opinion and heart...and back again...with a little bit of royal interference along the way.
