In The Bewitching Hour, author Diana Douglas introduced me to a "regency romance." I had no idea what that was or if it was even a real genre. I am so glad that I read the book.Meeting Lord Stratton and Priscilla for the first time was eye-opening for me. I enjoyed their little games of flirtation and getting to know each other. Obviously the world they lived in is much different than ours is today. However, there is one thing that never changes--the act of falling in love.From the beginning when Priscilla wants nothing to do with Lord Stratton, through the flirting and the courting by him, until the time they realize they should be together, these two made me laugh and at times made me mad. They also made me realize that falling in love is left to chance. You really don't have a say in who will love you, or who you will love. When the feeling overtakes you, you must give in to fate.I think I am hooked on this author and this genre. It is romance with some scenes which may make you blush--as if life doesn't do that itself--and with feelings oozing from the pages straight to your heart.Kudos to the author for bringing these characters to life.
