Laura’s Reviews > These Old Shades: A Slow-Burn, Age-Gap Regency Romance > Status Update

I'm really struggling. There's way too much French, both language and court, which would be fine, if I hadn't been craving my traditional Regency jaunt. The character introductions have been jarring, there's an annoying whiff of vital details being held back with a smug sort of air. Or maybe it's just that so far I positively despise the Duke of Avon and violently do not want him to be the Hero of the romance.
