Joan Smith has a very unique writing style which combines first person narration and witty repartee with quirky but lovable characters. The H is never too macho and is always busy doing his duty to something which interferes with a romance. The h is intelligent, fiesty, intrepid, pretty-not beautiful. Smith avoids the usual ton balls and high society intrigue and sets her stage away from London and among the common man, usually in a rural setting.  Her humor alone defines this author as one of the absolute best in the genre. Her avoidance of graphic sex allows emphasis on story and character development and is much more reflective of the social norms of the times. Of its type, this is as good as it gets.
