And astonishingly well-written. First and foremost, this book is high quality. Do not let the title fool you. It is a Regency Romance with a slightly more adult bent than your typical Traditional Regency, but the style of writing is essentially the same. There is one rather lovely sex scene, but beyond that, it is an amazing Regency romp. This author is one to watch. I loved every character, they all sparkled and came to life. The Duke was charming and delicious and absolutely perfect. Our lovely lady apothecary was also perfect. I feel rather bad for the much maligned 9th duke, things were apparently not what they seemed. My only complaint is that the book sort of abruptly ended. After the scene in the square there is a series of epilogues which was great, but a huge gap exists between the acceptance and the post-wedding bliss. I for one wanted to see the wedding and how Prudence reacted to all the preparation her fiancee went to on her behalf. I also wanted to see her tackle the Ton. Oh well, an amazing book all the same. Can't wait for the rest of them. Do not miss this book! Very very highly recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
