This was a lovely, if somewhat long-winded, traditional regency romance. It is written well, but in a somewhat bland style that does very little justice to this character driven story. There is not a lot of action, the plot mainly involves the love-square surrounding the four main characters and their slow realizations that things are not arranged in quite the proper way. The book is written well. It is not a wall-paper regency. The period is well researched and the characters are well developed. There is just something fundamental missing that would make this book outstanding. The dialogue is desultory even between the would-be lovers. There is very little humour, either through action or deed. The story needs just a touch of character (comedy, high drama, tragedy, etc) to make it perfect. As it is, a cute read. Recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
