This light-hearted Regency was great fun and amused me. These two quotations by different characters summed it up for me.

"Mama says they’re all positively dying for love of me. I feel so terrible—it’s such a responsibility!” She turned on the seat to look up into his eyes, her own drenched with quick tears. “You don’t think it will really come to that, do you? I mean, it’s not as if I could possibly marry them all, is it?”

"They’re numbskulls, the two of them, but they’re my numbskulls, and I won’t have you hurting them.”

Edward and Emily make an interesting couple, with even more interesting kinfolk. As is true with every traditional Regency, the question is never will the couple end up together, but rather how they end up together. And this book was delightful.

Highly recommended for readers of Regencies. ( )
