Janice - reviewed Well, *I* liked it :) on 12/3/2008 + 628 more book reviews

I'm not much on regency historicals (my taste runs towards trads), but I do like most of what I've read by Jane Feather. Her books are well grounded in the real regency period and she doesn't just make stuff up, nor does she give a reader so little sense of the times that the book could be set as well in any era whatsoever.

Some reviewers seem to have found the instantaneous attraction between Livia and Alex hard to believe, or hard to accept as a motivation for marrying someone one knows little about, but that seems very like reality to me -- how many people get into a relationship blinded by sex and find out too late that they're involved with someone they wouldn't have chosen otherwise? Livia has more sense about it than most; she knows it's physical at first, but she takes the chance - as does Alex.

At any rate, it held my interest through to the end and I would recommend it.
