2022- Was already on my favorites! I loved the ease of the relationships, between Emmy, Dom, Jenny, and Peter, between Jenny and her school friend, and between Jenny and the uncle/father of Dom. I can't remember when i last read a book with a blushing male MC, but it was refreshing that everything wasn't perfectly polished on his side or worked out immediately. Loved it! There is some adventure here, but it starts off with being stuck at an inn for a few weeks because of measles (i love that trope if i can call it a trope).
2016- Really great!

I had issues with the hero referring to the heroine by her last name, 'Prydd'. Up until the last sentence in the book. And the romance was just too slow.

"My Dear Jenny" is a charming companion to "Althea." Robins writes in the style of Georgette Heyer, with strong females in the male-dominated Regency England society. The characters have strong feelings, and excellent manners. You won't find explicit love scenes, but if you enjoy wit, vocabulary and happy endings, you'll like this book.

Ipigenia is a spinster who has resigned herself to a life of being a companion or assisting in a relatives house. When she gets a chance for a break in London when a friend invites her to a wedding and a visit with her. She takes the opportunity but when she takes a break in an inn she ends up quarantined in place. The only other woman there is Emily who is eloping with an older man and having second thoughts. The group of people there find themselves making and breaking friendships. One of the people there is Peter Teverley, and he and Ipigenia (whom he nicknames Jenny) start to spark but their path to true love is not smooth.
I enjoyed this read. The characters were fun and I liked them.

[e-book won through Library Thing] I suspected that this would be a Georgette Heyer knock-off. It wasn’t that exactly–I imagine that it does owe something to her, but it didn’t read like a thinner version of any of her books. On the other hand, the language and writing is nowhere near as strong. [Aug. 2011]
