Miss Amelia Fleming takes it upon herself to deal with the formidable Earl of Langley because her brother refuses to take care of his debts.

Personal Review:

Delightful, sweet, sassy, and lots of fun! This was an enjoyable clean romance. I may have laughed out loud several times and giggled even more.

Amelia is a wonderful character. She is unassuming and determined to take care of things when her brother only wants to squander the little money they have left. I like that she is academically inclined and has a strong inner world that doesn’t crumble very easily.

Langley is a typical grumpy character. I did enjoy his stoic-ness but I could have used a little more..something..from him. I’m not entirely sure why he wasn’t my favorite – oh, wait, it was probably the mistress. Why, pray tell, do these delightful regency reads have to have a hero with a mistress? I don’t understand; the stories are just fine without them and the presence of a mistress (even without any details) just makes me sick. *sigh*

The minor characters were also fun to read and watch as they contributed to the story. However, I am not a fan of omniscient point-of-view. I prefer more mystery – I don’t need to know everyone’s motives and thoughts on every subject. I prefer to speculate and pass judgments based on my own flawed perceptions of the characters :).

If it weren’t for the mistress, I’d probably continue with this series. But as such, I’m not sure I care to read more at the moment. If that kind of thing doesn’t bother you, though, this could be a great clean and light romance read.

Content Warnings:

mistress of the past (who does show up at some point), gambling, a duel with guns, some detailed touching towards the end of the book

Happy reading!
