review 1: Thoroughly enjoyable romp through the lives and times of Regency England. Our heroine, Lydia, recently orphaned and predictably penniless, is thankfully neither a simpering idiot or exhibiting attitudes so modern and out of place that Jane Austen would be spinning in her grave. To my mind she is a nicely drawn mix of a young lady who is aware of her place in the world, sadly sunk low, but with enough brains and wit to make her personality shine. I found her response to the situations fate sends her well written and fitting. All in all a very enjoyable Regency romance with a nice balance of characters, written with care and talent, and a plot managing to avoid many of the cliches writers of this era often fall into, and with a few curves and surprises to keep the reader ... moreguessing. Definitely recommended.
review 2: Every once in a while I feel like reading a good old fashioned Regency Romance! This one does not disappoint! A charming tale of a young woman who faces life penniless and her parents deceased (how many Regencies have you read like this-- far too many!) But it has plot, characters and a lot of goings on-- just when you think it will go one way- it throws in a switch! No one in this book is a flawless person-- they are all just normal people faced with odd happenings! Not your normal or paranormal regency! Enjoy! less

Liked the story and characters, although it got a little slow in the middle.
