Adorable Victorian romance.
I loved the amusing dialogue in this romantic novel. In some ways it reminds me of the sassy whit of Janet Evanovich.
Showed that the interior is more important that the exterior facade.
I loved this book! Sometimes the good guy DOES win. Read it, you won’t be sorry.
An easy to read book. Draws you in. Makes you want more.
I would read this book again.

Lovely spin on the traditional Regency romance.
This story was a very good look at what might have been possible during this time period. The characters were very well thought out and the language used by them seemed real in every way.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters grow and change. It is a little different slant on the historical ro. I highly recommend.
