Sometimes you don't want anything heavy to read, you're just in the mood for some brain candy. Finding myself with that attitude, I picked up this book.
Now there's candy, and there's cotton candy. You know, sugar and air, spun around and around until it forms some sort of proto-diabetic cloud around a cardboard cone. All tinted a ghastly shade of neon pink (ususally) and just waiting to send a 4 year-old into sugar heaven. There's no substance to it, no nutritive value, no social redeeming characteristic. Just sugar and air.
Given that Regency romances are not generally known for their deep philosophical bases or enlightened writing style, this story is cotton candy of the genre. No substance, nothing that would produce any kind of thought, little in the way of character development beyond giving names to them.
Recommended for anyone wanting a sugary escape from this world.

Tedium. I finished it but that's as good as it got. Not witty, not amusing but very light and predictable.

A quick easy read with some funny moments thrown in

This book is a keeper. The story is hilarious (unbelievable but funny), both main characters are likable. I recommend it to lift your spirits and make you laugh out loud.

Billy and Fletcher are a matched pair.
I laughed so hard throughout this delightful book. Both main characters are incorrigible and wacky . Absolutely loved this book.

This is a light read with awesome characters as usual. A young lady, Rosalie, is hiding out in the stables pretending to be "Billy." When the lord of the manor, Fletcher, finally arrives he decides to take Billy on a two day trip but doesn't understand why "Billy" won't unzip his pants and whiz without going into the woods away from Fletcher. Worse yet, he doesn't understand why he is beginning to be every so slightly attracted to "Billy." It's a great, fun read - and that's why I buy Ms. Michaels' books.

Very good, however, I did read this a while ago, so I don't remember all the details. Michelle Kasey AKA Kasey Michaels always writes very good romances, including this regency romance.
This is a sequel to Moonlight Masquerade.

A wonderful book it was sweet with no sex in it at all. It was an earlier novel written by Kasey Michael's.

Typical (which means fun) Kasey Michael's Regency. Fun dialogue, improbable situations, and quiet tie-ins to her other novels. Well worth the quick read.
