I was tempted to give this five stars but ... everything was a little *too* neatly tied up at the end for me.  I mean e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.  Made the whole thing just a bit much for me.  But I really liked that the book didn't plop modern-day people in a "Regency" setting by using a couple of period words by men with the title of  "Duke" or "Earl" or by young women who would fit in a contemporary romance except they happen to be making their Come-out.What I liked the most, though, was that there was a plot; a real story that didn't revolve around spies or other villains or exaggerated instances of miscommunication or some rehash of done-to-death plots.  And while I don't mind the more explicit books it was nice to read one where the plot was not simply an excuse to lead to sex.  All too often these days the "romance" genre has mistaken lust for love so it was nice to read something that was simply a sweet story.This was my first book by Joyce Harmon and and I hope she writes more Regency because I'd love to read more by her.
