Regency romance is one of my favorite genres. Why? Because they are usually on the tame side and well, I just love that time period.Nadja has written the kind of Regency I devoured when I was in junior high, and guess what? At 38, I still find this kind of Regency tasty!Evie's the perfect heroine for this kind of story, she's smart but a little naive. She doesn't want a husband because of stories her mother has told her and she has a fear of personal contact for much the same reason. You totally have to feel sorry for her because her mother has her terrified of intimacy and human contact. Hugs frighten her!Thomas is the perfect rake that becomes reformed when he gets to know Evie. Sure there's a mistress out to spoil their happiness, but you know that everything will work out for the best.What I found really great about Thomas was how he really fell for Evie, just as his friend Jonathan fell for her sister Melody. Speaking of Melody, I loved that though their mother compared the two sisters, Evie and Melody had no animosity towards one another. Lord knows if my mother acted the way Opal did, I would truly hate my sister.This was a great book, and though the epilogue left me sad in away, it gave me hope that there will be another story down the line from that family member that was mentioned.~ Review copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review
