Mr. Malcolm's List by Suzanne Allain
4.0

Do I understand why this book has such a low rating here on Goodreads? Yes, totally. It's one-dimensional, moves way to fast to lay any real groundwork or development, has characters that do frustrating things and act out in the dumbest ways, and uses a lot of tropes that have just been beaten to death.

I'm not much for romance, but I am one for humor, and I would say that this book delivered on both points, and made me realize that a good regency rom is just what a girl needs every now and then.

And did it just so work out that I've been reading this along with Jane Austen's "Persuasion"? In the most perfect way it did. (And I needed a regency read that was written in simple English. Austen is dense
