2.5

The book was okay and I did enjoy a couple parts of it, but I couldn't help but be mildly disappointed. The resolutions were tepid, the sex scenes were boring, and all the relationships felt slightly unbelievable - to say nothing of the anachronisms. I think another reviewer hit the nail of the head: this is the book for someone who just wants to dip their toes into historical romances, not the avid HR reader. 

Overall, I think you could enjoy this if you want to read a fluffy, modern romance set in the regency period.
