No one reads a Regency romance with the expectation that the main protagonists won't end up together.  So, if the ending is a foregone conclusion, why bother?  For me, it is about the journey of two reasonably well developed characters getting to the happy ending.  Compromising Miss Tisdale provides two characters who are fairly non-typical for this type of book and that is what kept me reading.Both Ambrosia Tisdale and Duncan Maddox, Lord Bristol suffer from family expectations that color their interactions and is the source of much of the tension between them.  Their journey of coming together is interesting, is resolved fairly realistically with blessedly few of the cliches found in this type of novel.  With a few technical exceptions I found this a fairly satisfying read.There were a few problems however.  First, the author seems to struggle just a bit with prepositional phrases to the extent that I felt it took away from the adherence to the formal language and manner of speech of that era.  Second, there were times when I felt that the story drug just a bit and could have been moved along with fewer of the character's internal dialogues.  Finally, there were some issues of word choice that I questioned.  If Amazon allowed half stars, I'd give this 3 1/2 stars.
