As a massage therapist myself, I was interested to see how accurate the author would be using massage therapy in the story. I must say, she was accurate in that aspect as I could suspect it would be in that time period. However, having read thousands of books, most of them Regencies, I feel that Ms. Moore certainly needs more practice at her writing skills. One part comes to mind. When the hero's mother asks Emeline to call her "Mary", Emeline proceeds to do so after every sentence. "Would you like a cup of tea, Mary?" Thank you ever so much Mary." "Lovely bonnet Mary." Delicious cakes, Mary." I don't believe this was a comedic character flaw on Emeline's part, but a writing error on the author's. There was also the standard "trip over something and end up in the hero's arms on the bed" scene which really had no place being where it was because the couple's attraction had already been established and they had already kissed a couple of times.
If you can overlook those bothersome areas, the story was pretty good. A nice quick read. This was an e-book which has been bound and signed by the author to someone named Mindy.
