Review: Not Madcap, Not Regency, Not Romance

Another feckless foray into "historical" fiction by the author of "The Wicked Wager" (see my review of that atrocity)l. Again, whatever little historical detail is scattered into this farrago of foolishness, it's not Regency. It's impossible to tell by detail alone what period this novel portrays, but neither setting nor behaviour of the characters bears any resemblance to the era so clearly portrayed by Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer. "Madcap" and low slapstick are NOT the same thing, and someone should tell this author that before she commits any more crimes against the Regency genre.
