Such a fantastic book! I didn't expect anything less though! A sweet romance with a sassy heroine and a strong but careful hero. Add two plot twists at the end and tada! You have a love story.

Really enjoyed this regency with a lady falling in love with a poor doctor. It was an interesting twist how the heroine slowly realizes that marrying the man she loves rather than a duke is the right way to go in order to have a happy future.

The plot is rather mediocre and predictable. The end was ridiculously unrealistic. Wish fulfillment is one thing, but holy cow. Too much. However, I really liked the characters and I wouldn't be opposed to reading the next two books in the series if I could get them on sale or at at the library.

On the one hand, witty dialogue and appealing characters; on the other hand, it felt more like a contemporary than a historical (and a contemporary young adult novel at that). It didn't feel realistic that any of these people belonged in regency England. The heroine felt VERY young - most of her ballroom scenes sounded straight out of high school - and the hero felt like an actual adult, which made me squeamish reading the romantic scenes. I was also uncomfortable with the unconventionality of the characters, because it didn't ring true to me; there was a vague sort of lip service paid to various conventions but none of the characters really seemed to take them seriously (literally the convention would be brought up and then the character would be like "whatever I guess I don't care about this convention" two sentences later), so again, with this kind of zippy, zany plot it just didn't feel like a historical novel. I'm usually fairly ok with historical romances that are more romantic than historical, but for whatever reason this one felt like it was stretching my disbelief too far.

Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood when I started this, but I didn’t really connect with either the story or the characters in the first half. But when I sat down today to read the second half, I liked it a lot more. In fact, I stayed up an hour later than I’d intended, so that I could find out how it ended.
