This is a fun little book where everything works out in the end. I have a relish for all things Georgette Heyer (except Venetia--didn't like that), but everything else she touched was delightful. This is along those same lines, though no one writes quite like she does. The characters are solid--not great, but likeable.
If you want a fun, light read with no sex (even hinted at) but a couple of zesty kisses, this is a good book to check out.

Delightful Regency romance by one of the best writers since Georgette Heyer.
