I read this when it originally came out and on impulse bought it again to reread. I was surprised how well it stood up (so often these romances don't!) but also suprirsed that it wasn't as lively as I had remembered. There was a formality to the writing that jarred a little bit. I loved the world created but KGS has definitely improved. Here is my original review:

Set in the interesting world of daytime soaps, this book feels real, the characters, the situations, the depth of feeling. Jenny Cotton is the author/producer of My Lady's Chamber who loves her job so much she can't bear to see it as 'work' and strives to recreate a family within her work environment (a common theme explored by KGS)
When a new actor arrives on set, the experienced but wary Alec Cameron, he challenges and changes the dynamics and things start to shift.

The clever weaving of a regency romance (the setting of the soap opera) and modern day television, the exotic world of TV and the reality of people's complex feelings, makes for a lovely novel. KGS writes beautifully as always, and I don't know why she is so underrated but if you can pick this book up, do, it is well worth it and a definite keeper.

In retrospect, the way Alec falls in love with Jenny is a bit jarring or difficul to believe, but the way Jenny rescues Alec really works, and the ending is heartwarming. ( )
