When mad schemes go awry...more madness descend
I would have liked this book had the load of deceits and machinations of the various characters been better managed. As it were, schemes seemed to pop out of nowhere and the romance was a love-at-first-sight for a confirmed bachelor and an almost confirmed spinster - essentially unbelievable and devoid of higher emotions.
There is also little humor and witty dialogue, to be found as opposed to the regencies of Kelly, Kirkland, and Dolan, so I think it is safe to consign Margaret Summerville to the lower ranks of traditional regencies - those with little to offer in terms of entertainment, but aren't so bad that you'd want to throw them in the fireplace.

Other than page-numbered notes, the only thing I had to say in my notes about this book is a spoiler, which was . So uh. Yes.
