Review: Not Bad

This was a very decent regency ironically until the end. This is the only time I have ever lamented the inclusion of an epilogue. The epilogue attached to this novel is written really badly. It is very amateurish and completely out of tone with the main portion of the novel. Overall, the book is good, a cute Regency boy-meets-girl story without a lot of frills. There are a couple awkward moments and the obligatory Big Misunderstanding that kind of came out of nowhere. I do hate that - when authors progress a plotline too far and have to create a Big Misunderstanding out of nothing. It would have been more natural for the misunderstanding to have happened at the beginning of the acquaintance so that the courtship would have been slower with interesting obstacles. But then we probably would not have had the dramatic exodus. Still, to sacrifice credibility for plot device is shady and does not sit well with me. An interesting read barring the sloppy epilogue. Recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
