Review: Comedic Regency Romance!

After reading A Wicked Wager, I expected a well-written light historical Regency romance with interesting characters involved in a plot with lots of twists and turns. And I was pleasantly surprised because I got so much more.The heroine, Penelope, is not the poised lady who I expected to find but a country bumpkin who made me laugh, cry and come to care for within the first few chapters.The supporting cast was also filled with those who I looked forward to seeing throughout the book, but I will have to give my favorite supporting character award to Madame Bellefronde. The modiste is one of the most interesting characters I've met in quite a while!From fake mustaches to poetic highwaymen to the hero's fiancee, I found myself laughing throughout the book and falling in love with Penelope and her Duke.I recommend to those who like romantic comedies and light historical romances.
