A pleasant read

Sweet Violet lives up to its name, a light and charming piece set in 1790's Colonial America that is sure to please most readers. Dark-haired, gray-eyed Gabriel, Duke of Belmont is properly heroic and Violet isn't the complete slut one seems to find cramming the pages of many of today's romances. The plot holds enough twists and turns to keep you turning the pages, too.However, as with her earlier works, the author has a huge hole in her historical research or a complete lack of regard for the well-known social mores of the time period, such as having Violet's mother run a flower shop. Ugh. Of course, Violet's father would have been ostracized from society for allowing such a thing. Not to mention that if the family truly lives on a plantation--does the mother commute to town via yea-old subway every day despite the fact it wouldn't be built for a few decades yet? Despite such goofs, I can heartily recommend this one since it is a delightful change from the filth poured out by Susan Johnson or Stella Cameron.
