'Ambersley' had been on my 'to read' list for months and for some reason I've never got around to reading it. It being on sale for this month convinced me that it was time to read it. I'm so, so glad I did, in fact, I wish I had have read it earlier and paid full price for it, its worth it! I'm not a huge fan of the 'hidden gender' ploy that is so often employed in Regency romance, but in this case, it works. The characters are relatable and honest and the writing style is superb, very much in the style of Jane Austen. In addition it seemed mostly historically accurate which is always a plus. The only thing keeping me from giving Ambersley 5 stars was the drawn out misunderstanding between the protagonists, 30 or 40 pages less would have improved the story dramatically. Don't let this put you off however. Ambersley is a great read that I would very much recommend.
