Customer Reviews

Rather trite and formulaic

Really struggled to get though this book and in fact finally gave up in the last chapter. Shallow characters and superficial characterization, no plot, everyone falling in love with perfect strangers. No humor, and narration style rather dull and stilted. Not for me, I m afraid. Straight to donation pile.

A good, clean, fun read

I really enjoyed this book. As a bookseller, I go through tons of books myself. This was a light, fun read. Cornick does a very good job of entertaining several side story lines without detracting from the main event. This is a clean book- for those who care about such things. I do, and it was refreshing.I look forward to reading 'The Virtuous Cyprian' and 'Lady Polly' which include characters from this book.

Traditional Regency

One I enjoyed. From the back of the U.K. Mills & Boon Paperback edition:A MARRIAGE WILL TAKE PLACE!After a disastrous marriage, Alex, the Duke of Delahaye, is determined to see his younger brother Philip safely married to provide the necessary heir. Unfortunately the chosen bride, Miss Jane Verey, is less than amenable! Jane wants a husband - eventually! - but she's sure it won't be Philip. Not when it is Alex who makes her pulse leap...A Regency delight!
