Not a typical Regency at all, which is one of the reasons I loved it. But don't get me wrong... Regencies are my favorite genre; it's just quite difficult to find brilliantly written ones with very different characters. Mary Balogh surpasses herself with this one: the hero and heroine are much older than in typical Regencies--both are 36--and Lady Helena Stapleton is as independent and flawed as she is beautiful. These two are seen in other Balogh books as minor characters: The Famous Heroine and A Precious Jewel are two where they're prominant. A very different story, certainly not all lightness and fluff. A book you won't soon forget. Brilliant.

Its nice how this book ties in a lot of the characters from her previous regency books. And these two characters are so original. The dialog between them is sharp. Well worth the read!
