What an excellent regency. This story had me emotionally invested from the first sentence and in a light-as-fluff regency that is a feat indeed. Not that this was light or fluffy. On the contrary this was a tale of shades of grey. Not truly dark but too emotional to be light. There were a few opportunities for the author to take this tale in truly gothic directions, but she refrained. Part of me is happy with that and part of me would have relished a true cataclysmic emotional outpouring. I would also liked to have spent more time with Julian. As delicious as Morgan was, Julian stole the spotlight in every scene he appeared. I felt so badly for Cressie. I wanted to reach through my Kindle and scratch out Morgan's eyes too at several points. But thankfully all ends well. One regret is that we do not hear of what use that gorgeous dress is put to. I can certainly think of one but I certainly would have rather seen it. This was an incredible regency and I certainly hope there are more where this came from. Very highly recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
