This was a cute, light read. I believe it was supposed to be a parody of sorts, and it did so. Obviosuly it was not some grand, in-depth book, but it was supposed to be "regency chick lit", which it did well. The plot was ridiculously predictable, but what chick lit isnt?

I'm not really sure if this was supposed to be just a funny Regency romance or a spoof of the genre—too many things didn't quite gel together, like how the main character was at once so naive she didn't know what was inside a gentleman's underwear, and utterly blasé about the fact that her love interest already had a mistress and an illegitimate child. The inconsistency was jarring. Still, enjoyable and readable in a frothy, unbelievable sort of way. The worst that can be said of it is that Mullany is too given to 'a bit with a dog' scenes—you know, things which are obviously shoehorned in because they are Hilarious Comedic Set Pieces.

I wasn't so sure at the beginning of the book - the first person narration really drove me crazy, but after about a half hour I couldn't put it down. It isn't anything deep and life-changing, but good for a fun summer read.

I enjoyed the book. It took me a while to get used to the 1st person point of view, but it was a fun read.
