This is a charming deviation from the usual "ballroom" Regency. Rich with authentic Austen-esque language, this delightful romance blends witty banter, layers of secrets, a villain I loved to hate, and just enough intrigue to keep me on my toes. But of course, the very best part was the romance itself and seeing how two very brave and honorable characters overcome such terrible odds to finally find their happily ever after.

This was one of those books that I will have to read again and again! The details were awesome and I know I will catch more when I re-read!

If you like clean, historical fiction with a little bit of suspense, then you would probably like this.
