Still a fabulously fun read, but this time I think I enjoyed Incognito better. I recommend reading both. (Not as much a fan of The Celebrated Pedestrian )
2018 Review
So first you read Jane Austen. And Jane's great! Iconic, even! But sometimes, deep down, you have to admit...she isn't where you go for a comfortable romance.
Then you discover Georgette Heyer. And she's amazing! Readable, fun, romantic...everything you've hoped for. Until eventually, you run out of her books to read.
Now...more
Let me just start by saying that Selina is more than a tolerable main character. I liked her a lot. I don't think I would have been able to finish this book if I had to deal with an annoying mc on top of everything else.
Let's just run through it.
Setting: Awful.
It's like Allain read one regency romance and then decided to write her own, with no knowledge of history or Britain. The language is so very modern. They might as well have s...more
I'm knocking this down a star because, despite the fact that I read it 3 weeks ago, I can't remember a single thing! It's that forgettable.
*****
This book could have used a bit more fleshing out. At only two hundred pages, there was plenty more opportunity to delve more into the characters and spend more time examining their motivations. Particularly the second half of the book, it felt like things were magically resolved a bit too much.
I recently discovered the Pink Carnation series by Lauren Willig and this was very similar in atmosphere and temper. Light-hearted, well crafted, and a very easy read. I think that fans of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen will find this book a pleasant romp. Mr. Malcolm is reminiscent of Mr. Darcy, a bit rigid in the beginning but quite pliable in the end.
I read this in a single sitting. It is a ve...more
After reading so many 'romances' that are in your face with the content, I was wondering how I'd respond to the subdued nature of the the content of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, I flew through the book finishing it in 2 days.
It was well-written, and the dialogue was extremely clever. I really enjoyed the characters. Even t...more
The whole thing felt more like a rom-com that the author decided at the last minute should be in Regency England than a true Regency romance. I never quite felt swept away by anything.
I have felt judged by past boyfriends. Thankfully I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Trailers for the movie look wonderful with an interesting cast.
Essentially, this is a Regency period romantic comedy. Mr. Malcolm is the second son of an earl, but has inherited a large estate and a huge amount of money, so he is a popular guy with the ladies. To make sure he finds everything he wants in a woman (and protects his heart), he's...more
A much sought-after gentleman has a list of qualities he expects in a woman.
A spurned lady decides to turn things around by introducing another lady who fulfills all his requirements, but then have this lady reject him.
Not a Georgette Heyer, but in that vein.
Light and fluffy.
A Regency Romance filled with devious plans and counterplans that leave our hero and heroine in confusion. Yet their witty dialogue carries the tale as they genuinely fall in love contrary to the manipulation of their friends.
A sweet, clean love story told with humour. Light and fun.
