Review: Without a doubt the most ridiculous 'regency' I've ever read.  Don't bother with this one.

I don't often buy a Kindle romance if I can have one for free. I 'invested' this meager 99 cents in Anya Wylde's book because it had a net 5 star rating.  The caricatures in this work were standard, from wicked step-mother and scheming adversary to grumpy hero to 'madcap' 'heroine,' who is so inappropriate she doesn't merit heroine status at all.  There is even an irreverent and usually soused angel and some cherubs floating around in the mix, and a milque-toast father totally disconnected from his 'beloved' daughter.It was work, but I read it from beginning to end.  It did get a bit better, once the auther toned down the emphasis on the madcap aspects of her heroine and concentrated more on telling her story.  I've said it before and I'll say it again: if the words 'wacky' or 'madcap' or 'zany' or 'hillarious' appear in the title, the writer is under pressure to deliver on that promise. And they don't.  The outcome is not wacky or madcap or anything but strained.  Sorry to disagree with so many others, but this is not worth the money.
