Review: Cute But not up to par
Rating: 4 out of 5

Considering that this book still warrants 4 stars, par is pretty high. This book was cute but fell a little flat. The writing and the dialogue were very loose in my opinion which surprised me in a Darcy book. The premise is an old one: young girl ward arrives at sexy guardian's home dressed as a boy. Eventually she is found out, they have to marry, shenanigans ensue. What bothers me most about this novel is that Leslie really could have been a sparkling heroine. But she just never materialized. There was a lot of potential for her to really come into her own and be a person, but the story felt rushed and all the character growth and resolution came from Pax, who honestly didn't need it, so Leslie just remains a potential through the end. Still an amusing read. Recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
