Review: Regency Romance ?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 03 7, 2014
I began this novel with the kind of expectation that I always seem to have with regency romances.  That there would be some kind of adventure, romance would blossom and in the end the hero would marry the heroine.In my view the charm of regency romances is their innocence and the understated feeling between the protagonists. I suppose I always measure all books in this genre against Georgette Heyer.  Most fall short by a mile.  An exception I read recently was a book called 'A Feather to Fly With' which I thoroughly enjoyed.The Harlow Hoyden began with innocence and it didn't take too long before lust was introduced.  There was not too much so I read on but then stopped reading when it became a full on detailed description of a bedroom scene.I don't want to sound a prude, it is just this is not what I want to read in this kind of book.  I want to read about romance, not lust.I stopped reading around three quarters through and will be deleting it from my kindle account.  It is not a book I would want my daughters reading.
