For a debut novel, the book was fantastic. Very well-written. I didn't really care for the huge jumps in plot, but that is actually my only complaint. I would have rather seen the action take place rather than hear the characters discussing it later. I did find the jumps rather jarring, especially the final one between the carriage and the inn. Very very strange way to end a book, but one can hope the next will be more smooth. The characters were mostly well done. The Aunt, uncle, parents, and Sophie were rather 2 dimensional and I wish the relationship between Nicky and Louisa had been explained better. But the main cast was fun and funny. I think Louisa was just a tad too flighty for 21, she acted more like 18, and her Duke was definitely a rather dull 32. He could have lightened up a little bit. Heh Anyway, a cute, fun novel. I will watch for the second one.
