Delightfully entertaining Regency romance, full of humor, misunderstanding, and deception.

I loved how the author immersed me into the setting with attention to detail in how they dressed, the manners, as well as how they conversed with one another. Miss Tavistock is impulsive and can be rather dramatic at times, which made for some humorous moments, as well as helped her get into many of the circumstances that she found herself in over the course of the book.

This was an engaging read, with an delightful upbeat pace, and wonderful characters. Captain Rampeare is honorbound to protect his family's reputation, he is clever, and I admired his ability to own up to his faults. One of my favorite characters was Mrs. Filbert, a friend and companion to Miss Tavistock, who though her wisdom is often ignored does her best to assist Miss Tavistock through every turn.

Overall, this was wildly entertaining read, with fun twists. It brought a smile to my face multiple times. Fresh and upbeat, with a comedy of intended misunderstanding this was a utterly enjoyable proper romance.

I received a complimentary ebook. Opinions expressed are my own. ( )

Oh my gosh - it is such fun to read a book that makes you laugh out loud and then continue to chuckle every one and again as you continue to read! Feodora Margaret Tavistock loses her parents in a coaching accident as a child. Growing up with an uncle and Mrs. Filbert, her companion, she spends very little time away from Toadingham. It’s 1811 and now 19 years old, she still hasn’t experienced a season in London, something she feels must be rectified.

Thus the fun begins. Her escort in London is none other than her betrothed, Gabriel, whom she hasn’t seen in 10 years! Identities are mistaken, fortunes are won and lost, not to mention the misleading actions of one Miss Tavistock and you have a story that will set your Regency ears on fire! With detailed research into that time period, the author keeps you at the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. Lies have a way of requiring more lies - will the truth win out?
