review 1: This book kept me guessing all the way. It starts off with immediate action, with the heroine leaving her parents' home for exile with her former nurse. She is under disgrace for her actions while at a house party (we aren't told details until later in the story). It had the feel of a true Regency story with some elements of mystery thrown in. The romance was very subtle and enjoyable; we didn't get the know the characters only for their bodily traits and perfect fitness for each other, but for their own unique character. In a way, I'd call it more of a Regency drama than a romance.It was a long book, but I really wanted it to be longer. There were so many little things that I enjoyed, such as the characters of Maggie and Lizzie, that I'd have stayed with them almost... more indefinitely and been happy. But the ending was quite perfect.I've already downloaded "The Tutor's Daughter"! :)
review 2: I usually am a big fan of Julie Klassen - but the last two that I have read i have been somewhat disappointed in. Not so much with the storyline as with the characters and how well I cared for them. I follow goodreads reviewer Clare Cannon and this was what she said in her review of this book..."This was disappointing. It built a nicely complex story, but the characters were often unconvincing and at times the plot development felt forced, taking away from the stories' power as a tale of redemption and forgiveness and making it seem more like an Austenesque soap opera. "I would have to agree with her 100% - but I did enjoy the book as I listened to is on a long drive. less
