Clearly she didn't get out into society nearly enough. Her pulse had no taste in men whatsoever

In the world of Sabrina Jeffries' historical romance novels, the statement "Clearly she didn't get out into society nearly enough. Her pulse had no taste in men whatsoever" could easily apply to many of the heroines in her stories. Jeffries' heroines are often portrayed as intelligent, independent women who may not always conform to the strict societal norms of their time. They are often ahead of their time in terms of their beliefs and desires, which can sometimes lead them to make unconventional choices when it comes to matters of the heart.

One such heroine who fits this description is Lady Clarissa Lindsey from Jeffries' novel "The Truth About Lord Stoneville." Clarissa is a strong-willed young woman who is determined to live life on her own terms, despite the expectations of her family and society. When she meets the notorious rakehell Lord Stoneville, she is immediately drawn to him, despite his reputation as a womanizer and a rogue. Her attraction to him goes against everything she has been taught about proper behavior and the type of man she should be interested in, but she cannot deny the chemistry between them.
