**I received a copy in exchange for an honest review**I really enjoy this time period and the characters in this story are delightful! I love the references to Miss Delacourt.Elizabeth is a beautiful young woman and she knows it, yet she isn't vain at all. She's a very kind and caring person and just wants to be loved for who she is and not what she looks like. "She had been admired by more men than she could count, all of whom bore the same stunned expression on his face as the young earl. It was an expression she loathed, just as she loathed the hypocrisy of those who professed to love her, but only wished to possess her beauty." She is engaged to be married to someone who doesn't love her for her beauty and therefore, feels it is safe to go about London, since she's not looking for that special someone. Sometimes, when you least expect it, that someone appears. I thought Elizabeth was a very determined and loyal woman. She was almost loyal to a fault. She's so giving and friendly and I loved the relationship she had with her mother and aunt. Her friend, however, was another matter. I could understand how jealousy and envy could come between them--Katherine was pretty immature to have handled things the way that she did, instead of trying to talk through things. It was like England brought out a hidden side to her.Colin is determined to find his sister a match, yet he has already sworn off the season with his friend. He doesn't like any of the men that he father has picked, so the duty lies with him. He wasn't expecting to fall for Elizabeth, yet he just can't help himself. What man can? I loved how close Colin and Analisa were and how their relationship as siblings was light and humorous, yet deep and constant. He's a man who knows what he wants and is determined to find his way to the end.I loved the mystery and suspense element, which wasn't the main theme. It added a little flair to the ending and was just the right touch to the story.Content: no language; very minimal, mild violence; kissing. Clean!
