Review: Reminiscent of Georgette Heyer's Venetia

I liked the H/h.  The h is alone in the world except for her nephew, who she is responsible for.  The H considers himself a flawed human being, too much so to be the companion of a respectable female.  Too many women in his past (and perhaps present), too much drink, and too many regrets which haunt him.  Of course, that makes him all the more intriguing for both the h and the reader!  There are misunderstandings, and villains, of course, but the real obstacle in the path of the h's happiness is the H's conscience.  Can he overcome his need to punish himself for past mistakes and allow himself to be happy?Yes, there are typos and grammatical errors in the novel, such as a lack of punctuation ("one's" is always written as "ones" for example), however, there were fewer errors than in another novel written by this author, "His Grace Regrets".I enjoyed the novel.  Not the equal of Heyer's works, of course, but a very pleasant escape from the modern world.
