Insipid book, badly written. An American takes part in an English reality show...think "The Bachelor" in Regency costume. Totally predictable from start to finish. Other than a few Austen references, there was nothing of interest here for a fan of Jane Austen. I do believe that this author's "research" consisted of watching a British TV show, called "Regency House Party" as almost all of her knowledge of Regency England seems to have been drawn directly from this television show. I say this having coincidentally watched this TV show a day or two after finishing the book and fact after fact presented in the show is incorporated into the book.
