Review: Nice Madcap Regency Novella

This novella was definitely a romantic comedy.  It was an enjoyable read, but you really have to be in the mood for a madcap romp in order to truly enjoy reading it.  The romance between Dominic and Gigi occured super fast, which in some cases is ok.  However, in this case he fell instantly in love with her the second time he laid eyes on her without ever having exchanged a word, which was rather disconcerting.Dominic first sees Gigi in the stable of an inn where he is hiding.  He overhears Gigi's conversation with her girlfriend during which she is offering herself to be his (Dominic's) slave (she reads a lot of romance novels).  Dominic instantly desires her and later when he sees her in a bookstore in London he falls instantly in love.Gigi literally suffers from lightheadedness whenever she is in close proximity to Dominic and in one instance actually passes out.There were several funny moments, but there were also other times when I thought the attempts at humor fell flat.  I also didn't find it the least bit believable that Dominic and Gigi had fallen in love with each other.  I don't see how they could have based on the interactions that had occurred between them.  I did enjoy the book, but it could have been so much better.  There were a few editing mistakes, as seems to be the standard for e-books, but nothing too overwhelming.Bottom line, if you are a purist regency buff this is not the book for you.  If you are in the mood for a lighthearted, laugh out loud, kindof story then give this one a try.
