The Regency Rags to Riches

review 1: Meh. The leads grated on my nerves (especially with the female lead slipping between speaking normally and a phonetically spelled accent). The story could have been tightened by about 20 pages, and while I understand that the “forceful” and “possessive” male lead is appealing to some, it’s not appealing to me. The moments of non-consensual contact—and there was one that was non-con until she clubbed him in the head with a chair leg—were uncomfortable and not what I was looking for. If I’d known going in it was one of those romance novels, I’d have skipped right over it. It's competently written, but it's not as charming as it thinks it is.
review 2: Our heroine, street urchin Rat/Fanny also new member of the ton Fantine Delarive, and hero, Mar... morecus Kane, Lord Chadwick, meet by request of Lord Penworthy to save the life of a Member of Parliment (Mr. Wilberforce) whose slavery bill is due to pass. With an threat to his life, Penworthy insists that Fantine and Chadwick work together as their search takes them not only through the slums, which Fanny knows inside and out, to the ballrooms of the ton, where Chadwick and his family preside. Fantine brings Chadwick out of his doldrums after loosing his brother, and through their investigation, he discovers that she brings a excitment, adventure for life that he craves. Although he at first wants her for his mistress, eventually he realizes that he wants much, much more. This book started off very slow for me. It was hard to follow exactly where the author wanted to lead the reader. However, the more that is learned about Fantine, the better the book became and about half way through, the book really picked up and I found myself enjoying it. True, it may take liberties with the time period, but if read more for the interaction between the two characters, its a great book to pass the time with. less
