Regency Series #4

Beautiful Rosalie de Barante knew the danger of being a dancer on the London stage. The bright blades of the ton came to the theater seeking not art but amour. Thus when Gervase Marchant, the Duke of Solway, showed interest in her, Rosalie had no illusions about his intentions.

She had vowed to her English father to keep her virtue intact. But when Gervase took her in his arms . . .

Enjoyable, sweet romance novel; while with some of the tropes it is obvious that this is a romance novel of the older school, it is still very well-written as well as meticulously researched. I really felt immersed in 1810-11 London, particularly in the world of opera and theatre that one doesn't read or hear about too often without looking for it specifically. I would recommend it if you like Regency romance novels without sex scenes and with its historical setting actually put to good use and not just as some stage dressing.
