This book is not very deep, but it is not merely fluff either. This is a gentle story about a group of individuals who come together under strange circumstances and how their relationships develop. The story centers around Faith, a true Regency heroine, and the two men put before her as suitors. One makes the mistake of ingratiating himself with Faith's companion in London and becomes practically engaged to her in the eyes of the ton. The other is a young man who has observed Faith from the sidelines with interest during the season but is unsure of his own intentions and did not press for an introduction. Rumors about the engagement force the unwitting suitor to make a house-party out of an invitation he made to Faith to journey to his country estate where he hoped to meet her father, a celebrity sportsman, rather than court her. Other guests are hastily invited and the action quickly moves to the new setting. Eager to even the playing field Faith's willing suitor proposes a game for the young men during the course of the party that ends up having very interesting results. An adorable read. I can well imagine something very like this happening in actual regency Times. Highly recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
