Well it had an abused, insecure heroine, but not quite enough angst to qualify as my favorite formula. Still, not a bad read. I'll check out other books by Shana Galen. (3.5 stars)

A pleasant story. Weak writing, a rather ridiculous plot, irregular character development. Truly a very average book.
Starts out allright, but soon people and actions become weird. Also, this has nothing to do with the Regency period.
Grade: dnf
