The Blue Devil (The Regency Matchmaker, #1) von Melynda Beth Andrews
This. Um...Okay. So Kat is a country girl who comes to Town for a well overdue Season at the urging of her aunt. Auntie makes a huge mistake that sends Kat on an undercover investigation. The plot line is less believable than those old episodes of Dick Van Dyke where someone heard something while eavesdropping and got it all wrong and hilarity ensued. Still, if you can get past that, it is a fun read. Just not believable, but hey, it's escapism and that's why you read, right?
adventure romance - likable characters - author does better than average job on giving character to the characters so they feel alive/read (vs flat)

I didn't care for this book. It wasn't the writing - which was about standard for regency, it wasn't even that I disliked the hero and heroine. I guess I really don't like deception, not in real life and not in books, especially romances where eventually the deceiver and the deceived are supposed to fall in love and live happily ever after. I didn't like the attitudes of both the protagonists, his "I'll bring her down a peg or two" and her "I'll make him behave" just rubbed me wrong. The book was an engaging read, I do think that many regency readers would enjoy it, but I just don't personally care for the plot devices used.… (mehr)
Not nearly as good (as my previous book) - when I finished it my comment was "That could have been a lot better." The concept might have been interesting if the writing was a lot better.
And the blurb is a lot better than the book - I bought this three separate times, and didn't realize until I started reading!
