Helpful Score: 3
Funny, sweet, no gratuitous sex like recent run-of-the mill historical regency romances. There are a couple of bedroom scenes, but they did not run on 2 or 3 pages. H/H are very likeable. Heroine is always hungry and enjoys food. Don't get me wrong, she's small, but eats like a trucker :-), hyper and talks a lot. She's on the young side, too, although mature enough for the hero, who's in his mid-late twenties. Hero is not a rake, just a regular guy. If you like Julia Quinn, which I do, I recommend this book. Good start for this debut author.

I had enjoyed a 2 of this author's newer works (The Sport of Baronets and A Gentleman's Game). So, I decided to look into her back-list and start from the beginning. This is her first book (and series) and it shows.
Julia's stepsister, Louisa, becomes engaged to James, a Viscount. James was in a hurry to get married. So, unfortunately, when he meets the rest of the family, he starts to fell for her sister. Oopsie. I was interested to see how this would play out.
My biggest issue was how so very immature Julia was. James reason for the rush to marriage was eh. This was also slow going (but I made it to the end!).
I will check out the next, but if too much like this one, I probably won't be finishing it.
