Ruth J. Hartman, does such a fantastic job with this book. I've always wondered what would happen if a modern girl was thrown back into Regency times. I mean, would the iPhone work? Would people think you were insane and send you to Bedlam? Or would you fall in love?In my  mind it would be very difficult to mesh the two worlds together.  How do you stay true to regency while at the same time throwing in modern words and customs? Miss Hartman weaves a beautiful tale, balancing the two worlds so effortlessly that I felt like I was experiencing it right along with Izzy. She was everything an independent woman should be. Feisty, strong, and opinionated.Charles, our Duke, is everything I love about regency heroes. He's tall, dark, handsome, dashing--totally perfect, and of course a gentleman. I don't want to give the story away. It was a fun quick read that left me smiling.No open door sex or cursing.I gave it four and half stars
