mon_ique's review against another edition

I can't believe I used to eat up stories like this. Like, it's really cute, but it's cheesy!
I have to say, this is one of my (if not my fav so far) favorite Dunn books! In a few of her others, there were some ennuendos, which made me wary of her (no better than Heyer really, but most of Heyer was good), but this was very pleasant (except one reference to Matthew pushing one of his "loves" in a wheelbarrow, but that was only a reference) and really cute! I like how they didn't end up filthy rich at the end, even to the point that Matthew still plans on working hard etc, etc, so its not that unrealistic.

I liked the hero and the heroine here--they banter good-naturedly, there's no Big Misunderstandings, the biggest obstacle to their happiness is that neither of them (truthfully) has any money, and they bond over their mutual love of architecture.
(Honorable mention to Miss Tibby, who makes a terrible chaperone as she keeps disappearing to look at Roman ruins.)

Enjoyed. A Trad Regency (as if you couldn't tell from that awful 90's Harlequin cover), well-written and the Period captured faithfully. I liked the characters very much and rooted for their HEA. Will read more by this author.
