review 1: This book is reminiscent of Jane Austen's style with witty dialogue, great historical setting and detail, and some fun twists and turns on the road to love. We are first introduced to Miss Armistead, a young woman who has come from India to England to get ready for her marriage to a Mr. Cruikshank. While she is in England, her carriage breaks down and she is forced to knock on a gentleman's door and ask for assistance. This certain gentleman, a Mr. Lloyd-Jones is cynical of women and their trustworthiness since he's just had to cry off his engagement to a woman who wasn't what he thought she was. He isn't very kind to Miss Armistead at first, but soon becomes intrigued with Miss Armistead and her forthright manner. I loved the interactions between Miss Armistead and M... morer. Lloyd-Jones. Their attraction is forbidden of course, since she is betrothed to be married and he has promised his best friend to avoid all entanglements of the heart. This makes it easy for them to be in one another's company since they feel safe that nothing emotional will happen between them. But sometimes it's hard for the head to rule the heart when you meet the person you know you were meant to spend your life with.I won't tell you how it all ends when Miss Armistead's betrothed eventually comes to England, but it is heart-wrenching and wonderful all at the same time. A really well-written story that I enjoyed immensely. If you like historical romance, this must go on your to-read list.
review 2: I love books that transport me back to old English times. Regency romance is one of my favorite genres, especially when an author writes in a way that scenes just come alive in my head. This was a book that filled my head with beautiful visions and played out like a movie.The book started off a bit slow for me and it took little while for me to get into the rhythm and characters but when I did, I couldn’t put it down. I loved Miss Armistead’s character. She is all things gentle and kind. Her manner is refined and she has a way of soothing every situation. Colin is everything you can imagine a gentleman to be. He is proper and considerate, even when he doesn’t want to be.I loved the ending, the intrigue and the danger. Things really picked up the last third of the book and I found myself completely caught up and invested.This was a fun, diverting read. Clean and proper, just like I like them. less
