Review: Not as funny as I hoped it would be

I was really hoping for a Regency Comedy, but I guess I just don't find goats to be very amusing.  I laughed out loud once - and I don't even think it was a scene I supposed to find funny.  Overall I liked the story and the characters (except for the goat) and I enjoyed the author's writing when she wasn't trying to be funny.  The highwayman was amusing and the way Penelope retold the story was very engaging.  The modiste was a bit shocking, but I enjoyed the originality and the relationship this character added to the story.  Some of the dialogue between the Duke and Penelope was just stupid.  It wasn't funny.  The dowager and Lady Anne are both wonderful! Overall, it was a 3 star book for me.  I think if I had read the sample first I would have known I wouldn't love this book.  If you read the sample and like it, then you should be making a safe purchase.
