Oh dear, where to begin?First,there are the editing problems. Merissa is 'Melissa' a good number of times.The dialogue is bad, the writing is not particularly good either.The French language, oh the French language: 'moi' instead of 'moue'; 'demoiselle' instead of 'mademoiselle'... then 'raffia' instead of 'ratafia' - I somehow doubt that grassy fibers from the raffia palm would be served as a liquid refreshment.Then, there's the lack of understanding of the time period. This is supposed to be a regency novel. Yet we have the young, unmarried heroine taken to a ball in London by the hero. She has not been brought out; she is unchaperoned. Yet, nobody seems to find anything wrong with this. Please, Ms Gillgannon, don't assume that your readers are all stupid and lacking in historical knowledge. And even those who have not studied history (like myself) will have read a sufficient number of regency romances to gain some understanding of the customs of the time period!
