So disappointing! Putney is one of my favorite Regency romance writers and is usually so much better than the rest. Unfortunately, her latest endeavor is just mediocre. The pacing is way too fast and I found the plot ludicrous (well, more so than the average romance novel). Usually, Putney writes good stories and well-drawn characters. This book is none of that. *sigh* Ah well. With so many books under her belt, she was bound to have a clunker or two. Extremely disappointing.
