I had the opportunity to review this book through Story Cartel.  It is not the sort of book I usually read.  Yet I found it to be an enjoyable summer vacation book.I would classify this book as romantic historical fiction.  I enjoyed the setting in early 19th century England and Rhode Island, just prior to the War of 1812.  It was lively and fun with engaging characters.  The plot was fairly transparent, though, with few surprises.One thing bothered me a bit with the use of language.  I can only assume that the author was using appropriate 19th century slang as there were a number of words that do not appear in my dictionary.  From context I could figure them out, but since my Nook has a dictionary I tried looking them up and found almost none of them.  Perhaps this is a feature of the regency romances that I am just not familiar with.
