Review: More Austen than Heyer

I was most agreeably surprised by this book.  The pacing, style, language, and so on are quite like some of Jane Austen's books.  It was an enjoyable book and nothing happened in it that was too farfetched.  Events in the book followed logically from the characters' situations and personalities.  How rare it is to find that in a Regency...or indeed a romance novel of any kind!  It lacked the sparkle and wit of some of Heyer's best books, but I found nothing in the book to annoy me.The story was slow-paced, but, given the heroine's situation the pacing suited the story quite well.  All the loose ends were wrapped up by the end of the book.  I was left wondering, however, where the title of the book tied into the story.  It seemed a totally random title to me.If you like Jane Austen's works, for $1.57 you can't really go wrong with this little book.
