A hero as handsome as Mr Darcy, a heroine as engaging as Miss Elizabeth Bennett and a pair of young would-be lovers who share a similar taste in books. This is a delightful, highly entertaining Regency romance novella. Justin is kind, athletic, handsome and ardent, with a secret. Clara is an intelligent, self-possessed young lady who knows what she wants and is not afraid to strive for her dreams. Together they make a lovely couple. Linda Banche is excellent at showing their growing attraction and affection and at showing the giddy, exciting and turbulent feelings that being in those first stages of love creates. The secondary players in the novella are also well-drawn and interesting (I'm hoping there may be other stories where they feature as the lead characters)and the settings were always unusual, original and very vivid. There is humour, too, in both the witty dialogue and in the crisp descriptions. I look forward to more of these novellas.
