Jane Austen this is NOT.If you figure the characters are really modern people set in an historical context with party clothes, then yes it is an okay read.It is written well enough and complex enough for a romance novel. I say romance novel because there is very little of historical interest in it. Plunk it down in any other setting and you get the average romance novel. He's playing around. She's a "career woman" with pluck... check. Both are good looking... check. Got a villain... check. The obligatory green dress and shopping trip... check. Sex scenes... check. Guy gets girl despite social obstacles... check. And wonder of wonders... she's really an heiress... or special... or whatever. Yep... covers the bases.Quick read. Nothing offensive. Nothing outstanding. Just okay.
