This is truly a well-crafted book, the best Regency I can remember. When Gillian, born out of wedlock, pretends to be her half-sister and goes to London to stay with Amanda's guardian for her coming out season, she dreams of a fairy-tale life. Things didn't quite work out like that. This situation became more muddled all the time, but it was all believable because of the personalities of the characters. Everyone of them was lovable, yet frustrating in their own way, and I was amused over and over again. Yet, there was enough action and intriguing situations to keep me reading.There were a few scanning errors. "Smother" was used for "another." "he" for "be," and "tided" for "titled." For a secular book, it was pretty clean. There were no sex scenes, and only a very few mild curse words. Of the almost 350 books I've read in about a year, this is one of the best. I'll be looking for more by Jade Lee.
