Review: Hilarious, tongue-in-cheek Regency romp!

For me, this book was hilarious!  So much of the dialogue was unexpected and original which made it very funny.  I can understand where this style isn't going to suit everyone's sense of humor, but I thought the book was witty.  The scene in the bookstore with the Duke's affected speech was very clever and amusing. In several of her books, popular author Marion Chesney (aka MC Beaton, etc...) alludes to speech affectations being all the rage in Regency times, but Ruby Royce took this idea and ran with it!  The scene in the park where the Duke lets Gigi know that he saw her in the stable talking about him is subtle and entertaining.  I think my cheeks were blushing right along with Gigi's!  I was cringing for her. The scene in the jewelry store where the Duke meets Gigi's father is highly amusing and casts the Duke in just the right light to deserve the title of Hero.  I was thoroughly entertained by this fun Regency romp!  Don't forget to read the sample - you should know right away if it's your cuppa tea.
