Rocana's aunt, the Duchess of Brunswick, keeps her from society and is turning her into a sewing maid since the death of her parents. Rocana's cousin, Lady Caroline, wants to marry her childhood friend Patrick, son of a local baronet. The Duchess has higher ambitions for her child, and her dream comes true when the intimidating Marquis of Quorn asks for Caroline's hand.

Patrick and Caroline decide to elope, but to buy time she must pretend to accept the Marquis so Patrick can make arrangements. To their horror, the autocratic Marquis insists the wedding take place in a week. Because Caroline and Patrick need a good head start to get married before they are caught, there is only one delaying tactic they can find: Rocana must pretend to be Caroline and marry the Marquis!

Review of 'The unbreakable spell' on 'Goodreads'

Exactly what you'd expect from Dame Barbara. This heroine was slightly smarter than the others, though. I'll give her points for brains and bravery, bringing this from one star to two.

A predictable plot line, as always. Arranged marriage, an orphaned beauty, cruelly mistreated but with a heart of gold. This one has the added fun of a weird sixth sense thread that was quickly dropped and insta-love. Barbara, your plots were ridiculous but apparently so am I for continuing to read them.

Tune in next time, where I will be reviewing Dame Barbara on audio. Can't wait to hear how bad it turns out!
