Review: Not a Bad Story

This modern Regency has a cute story but the prose is sorely lacking. The emotions go rather overboard especially Aunt Daisy's. Chelsea is too perfect. Brett is great. Lytton is lovely as well and Sam is good for a few laughs. With some polish this story would have been great. But too many modern authors forget the point of a Regency Romance: Manners. The Hero  spends way too much time graphically describing the state of his erection and what he would like to do with it in relation to the heroine. An author needs to pick between writing a 'bodice ripper' or a regency. You can't do half and half, pick one and stick with it. I like cozing up with a raunchy romance novel as much as anyone but when I sit down to read a regency I am expecting a certain level of poise and maturity that I found lacking in this novel.
