Utterly enchanting. When I say that I like historical romance, this is exactly what I mean. “ historical fiction “written by modern authors, always smacks of modern ideals. If you’re going to get a good regency error, novel, that is true to form, you must read one that was written before feminism took over the mindset. Otherwise, you lose all the magic of chivalry. The ladies in this book are headstrong, but they are written to be as headstrong as a 17-year-old growing up in the early 1900s could imagine a woman to be. I am more partial to what I would call femininity then feminism; this book was adventurous, swashbuckling, and the romance was certainly swoon worthy.
