I'm always scrounging around for decent regencies and I quite liked the sound of this one. It's not the author's fault that I'm not entirely crazy about 2nd chance love stories but generally they bug me. I liked that the story was clean and we didn't have to deal with pages and pages of endless sex scenes. Basically the h had jilted the H 7 years before on the day of the wedding and had then been disinherited by her family so she was living off the largesse of her aunt. She's the spinster companion of her cousin and poor. She meets up with the H at a house party given by her aunt and he introduces her to his young, beautiful fiancée. There are still feelings between the two and the situation is complicated because the H cannot break off his engagement.+++Spoilers+++I suppose this one had quite an original angle in that the h admits that she was stupid to jilt him at the altar - and she was. I found some of the situations implausible hence the 3.5 star review.The book has a sweet hea and I do like the way the H really was in love with the h and made it clear from way before the end. The h was a bit annoying at times.
