This book was ok but if I had actually paid for it, I would have thought it a waste of money. Plot is ok, average. What I didn't like was the language: I'm pretty sure expressions like "at any rate" were not used in the Regency period. Dialog of the characters seems to be of my American contemporaries, not Regency lords & ladies. Also author uses a lot of repetitive language, same word twice in the sentence.I don't claim to be an expert on Regency but adoption as an official procedure didn't exist during Regency, yet Thomas was to be adopted by the squire... And what's with the French manicure of the girl on the cover? That's not Regency-like at all.Overall I would say I have an impression book was written in a hurry and not well researched.
