Review: I like Cat - She knew what she wanted and she never let up in this Regency Romance by Priscilla Shay
Rating: 4 out of 5

Shay brings the Regency Period alive for me in Returning the Favor.This is a wonderful story of love growing up and what it means to become an independent, fierce woman with the ability to speak her mind against the social mores that threatened Cat's happiness.Cat loves Colin - their first fiery meeting defines them. Regardless of his internal concerns for her family, Colin sets himself firm as the man who will be her Hero.What I liked about the story: These pre-destined lovers navigate their Regency world with a style and class that defines the period they live in. I was so swept away in Shay's world I honestly felt like I knew each character's next move. Ah, the horse-flesh reigns supreme in this story!But Shay surprised me in the end and wove together a tale of romance that left me so glad these two characters found their unique Happily Ever After.My reservations: The characters were true to course with tension and conflict that defined them and their world of pomp and circumstance (which I dearly love when done right). I worried the lovers would never meet their destiny. A great feat for Shay's writing prowess.All-in-all this short-story is worth your time. I'll be looking forward to more from Priscilla Shay: This Author knows how to turn a Regency Tale.Treat Yourself to Returning the Favor by Priscilla Shay.
