Review: Started off well, but not really historical

I enjoy the basic premise and the beginning, but much of the plot followed the usual tropes - the scheming to trap the H was predictable and the ending with the cousin seemed tired and a silly, overly dramatic way to make the h and H finally resolve their differences.  Also, the h is supposedly the one to make him change - but he originally focuses on her as someone he'd like to marry solely because of her looks.  That's pretty superficial and not very encouraging.Also, the story was not very fleshed out and lacked authentic Regency details.  Also there are many extraneous characters used solely as plot devices (debutante, barmaid, cousin, lechers, etc.) - the enter the story, fulfill their function, and depart. They are not three dimensional.  Very quick read and not very memorable.  I'd give it 2 1/2 stars.
