Review: Not Your Typical Regency
Rating: 3 out of 5

I liked the characters in this book and thought the premise was quite interesting - that of a "madman" being imprisoned in his own home and the rescue thereof involving a young lady of quality who enjoyed climbing into homes and retrieving items.  Of course, Florrie had no idea that the most precious of all the items she would ever retrieve would be the beautiful, raving, lunatic, drugged Nathaniel - but... perhaps he isn't the lunatic he appears to be.Nathaniel was an interesting character and his dark past is slowly brought out over the course of the book.  Florrie is a very sweet unassuming young lady who simply desires to get a regular job and enjoy her life.  On the one hand, Florrie is tugged and pulled by her wastrel brother, Duncan, who wants to use her desire for danger and her climbing abilities to assist him in obtaining items which he resells.  On the other hand, Nathaniel, Baron Felston, who is struggling mightily with addictions due to being drugged for one month while he was falsely imprisoned, finds that there is one addiction that is greater than any other - that would be Florrie.I gave this book only three stars because although elements of the storyline were somewhat unique and the characters were memorable, the story wasn't as well rounded in some areas as it might have been.  The minor characters were pretty much just that. Overall, the story was lacking in some areas that might have made it more interesting.
