First, I will say that this was my first time reading this author and I truly enjoyed this romance. Aside from the fact that it could use a bit of editing for grammar and punctuation, and that I figured out the plot twist before the end of chapter one, I was intrigued and anxious to see how the author would handle the plot conundrum into which she'd dropped her delightful couple. Ms. Richards not only handled the plot with believable finesse, she also created a conflicted hero with physical flaws he felt no lady would overlook and a sympathetic heroine who had allowed those above her in station to determine her self-worth. Essentially, this couple's emotional imperfections make each the perfect match for the other and you can't help but like them. While this is not a clean, traditional Regency romance, the details of their multiple encounters never stray into the realm of hot or torrid. And, finally, and the way the author wraps up the final conflict is romantically satisfying and ends without any of those unanswered questions that often plague a reader when details are not finely wrapped up at the finish. Bravo, Ms. Richards. I hope to see more Regency romance from you in the future.
