Reviews

From Kassia Krozser, Subversion

This is my favorite type of Regency -- lighthearted, fun, with reasonably intelligent characters. I enjoyed the relationship between Lucas and Georgia -- especially his realization of the implications of courting Georgia's mother (it is the fashion, after all). Their romance could have been developed a little more fully (his intentions are clearer than hers) and they could have spent more time with one another -- but I'm quibbling. The books is a good, fun read.
