Review: Much too short (in a good way)

This was a fun and quick read. Amelia is wonderful!  I really enjoy books that feature strong female characters.  Amelia definitely does not fit the "ideal" mold of a regency era young lady of the ton. In spite of a very strong and outspoken personality, she has made a place for herself among the ton after a scandal.The author contrasted Amelia and Clarice without leading the reader to dislike either one. I find that refreshing!  Too often female primary characters are pitted against the other for the sole purpose of creating conflict. In this book, the author has used their differences to illustrate opposing personalities as well as to create some tension. (But not outright dislike for either one.) Ms. Bryce has created a sweet and surprisingly complex story in a relatively short novel.  I do wish that certain aspects of the storyline had been more thoroughly developed; however, there is certainly enough character and backstory development to satisfy the readers.  Please, do yourself a favor and read this one!  It's worth spending your time reading!
