Shades of Heyer...

What an enjoyable read! I enjoyed this story's characters immensely. The heroine, Phila(delphia), is an adorable madcap who really, truly would be well-behaved, if only her scapegrace brother didn't keep dragging her into mishap! The hero, Mr. James, is bored, bored, bored with his well-ordered, politely hedonistic life...that is, until Phila arrives on his doorstep to plead for mercy towards her brother, who owes two hundred pounds to Mr. James. Then our hero's life takes a turn for the more interesting. The romance is believable, the dialogue witty and reminiscent of Georgette Heyer, and the dash of intrigue adds spice to a very sweet love story.
