Review: An Interesting Gem

What an intriguing Regency! My only disappointment is that things were all tidied up fairly quickly and without much drama. That and Clea needed a little more spunk during her capture. I also do wish that more of Floss' actual intelligence and true personality would have been shown. We are given a few tantalizing, teasing insights into her true depth of character, but are denied the full plunge. So I guess that is 3 wishes really. I had been hoping for more of a London Season book than it turned out to be (funny how in my experience, the most obvious and referred to trope is in reality the least used - sigh) but I found it enchanting nonetheless. The poor Earl! He was the most gallant, though most put upon, hero I have ever read about. He truly was a darling and I am thrilled for him that he got the HEA he deserves. Malyon on the other hand is a bit of a cad and I for one rather begrudge him his good fortune. However, he was honorable in the end - if incredibly high handed. A vastly entertaining read. Highly recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
