A fun daring heroine in a regency setting. As a Romantic period nerd, I enjoyed all the detail that went into it and the story was overall very compelling. I liked the chemistry between the protagonist and her love interest (yes you have to forego the fact that they’re cousins). Don’t see why they had to be cousins since this book was written in the 20th century. Needless anti-semitism also leaves a bad taste in your mouth considering it was written in 1950! But overall, really enjoyed how the plot progressed and how the final act of the book took place. A well-written, entertaining tribute to Austen indeed.
