I just really did not end up liking the hero. Also, I think I like more angst in my stories. This one was just a little too fluffy for me.
solid Regency Romance with plenty of banter.
I found this book silly and shallow rather than humorous.

5 stars just for the adorableness of this book. Thankfully, no great big misunderstandings. I loved the h and H, great anticipation and satisfying conclusions. This story comes complete with wicked stepmother and moments of hilarious hi-jinx.
