Here are my caveats. The characters are drawn with broad strokes and are very stereotypical. The youngster writing bad poetry from The Grand Sophy, the unreformed rake, the ill-bred noblewoman. The Vicar from Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I liked Miss Abernathy quite a bit, but isn't her paramour just a little precious? What did that add to the story. And, fatally, the easy romance trope of love at first glance instead of the gradual development of a relationship.
Little things, too, like Matty turning the lamp down low the first night when she goes to bed. In that time frame, there would be no gas lamps, only oil lamps,using animal fats, and never in a Heyer have I heard reference to the nobility or gentry using lamps rather than candles.
So, a fun Regency Romance Light, but not the full-bodied vintage, IMO. The point, of course, is that there are times for each to be appreciated in its own way. ( )
