Description
"Sharing Brussels lodgings with a penniless officer and his admirable sister, Fanny, the impoverished Felix, Lord Roworth, liaises between Rothschild and Wellington while courting Lady Sophia, a well-dowered beauty. Fanny laughs at his toplofty ways, yet when she desperately needs his help, Felix finds the Goddess's image fading as he rushes to Fanny's rescue." - Taken from cover p.4.Tags

Excellent regency. Strong characterization. Very good interweaving of accurate information from the battle of Waterloo in flow of narrative. Clean prose. Purchased the Kindle version even though I was pretty sure I had read this before. And I had. Still enjoyed it for the same reason I enjoyed it the first time.
Passed the time nicely for a sunny Sunday morning. It was nice to catch up with old friends. But I probably shouldn't have read this straight after reading Georgette Heyer as this books pales in comparison. Having said that not a bad read.
