I've read some books by Joan Wolf and on the whole I enjoyed the regencies more than the european historicals so when the opportunity arised to read one more I didn't hesitate.

A very good regency. Like most of Joan Wolf's books the feel of the period is very good. This is not just wallpaper history. The people really act like they would have in the period or at least a reasonable facsimile of it. I liked Laura, she was a very strong character and was able to think things through and respond appropriately. He was a dark brooding character but was underneath a very decent man. Jane and David from 'A London Season' are secondary characters in this one.
I've a soft spot for Joan Wolf's regencies - I liked this sweet romance, though it's not one of her best. Familiar plot and familiar characters with an OTT villain - a quick and enjoyable read.
*happy sigh* There's nothing like a traditional regency for the warm fuzzies. Love!
(Stand alone but slightly connected to The London Season—we meet some familiar characters.)

Nice story of a marriage of convenience.
