review 1: This is my first story by this author. It was a sweet story. At 150 pgs I hesitate to call it short, it’s more of a mid–range read. I do admit to having difficulty with the lower class, old English dialect. I found myself reading those sections more than once to figure out what was being said. The way the author just kind of threw the dialect in there from time to time made it feel disjointed. Not necessarily anything wrong with the scene itself, just the new dialect distracted the flow.I liked Taffy and her relationship with her brother and uncle. The author did a great job describing the awkwardness involved for three people who were always more like partners in crime. For one to all of a sudden become the guardian over the other two would indeed be a difficult adjus... moretment. Her bold straight forward attitude made her fun and entertaining.Hotspur was a little more difficult. I felt the author lost out on a few opportunities to flesh out his character better. I had no trouble reading between the lines, but I can’t help but feel I would have enjoyed the story better if certain things were explained in more detail. For instance, the references to politics. From that I got that he obviously worked for the government in some type of undercover aspect, but we were left mostly guessing there. He just kind of disappeared for days at a time with no real explanation.Overall I liked the story, it was cute and engaging. I wouldn’t mind reading other books by this author.
review 2: I have read this 3 times - just because it is a cute little story, doesn't take much time but is well written and delves into English society and all that it entails. Taffetta is just coming out in London and has caught the eye of Thurston Tarrant who is also known as Hotspur for his love 'em and leave 'em attitude. Taffy is beautiful and full of fun, unlike any of the other women he has met. It doesn't take long for Hotspur to pursue her and for her to get under his skin.Taffy along with her brother, Seth and their uncle Nigel, who is only 2 years older, cause mischief and form a lively little group with Catherine, Taffy's school friend, and James Fenmore who is Hotspur's best friend. less
