Rating: Summary: Delightfully different Review: I read Ms. Bray's "Lord Freddie's First Love," and enjoyed it so much that I had to read "A London Season," where Freddie first appears. I loved how his character changed and grew between the books! It was also nice to see an author who can write so many different kinds of Regencies, (Freddie's is a gentle, heart-warming country tale, while Glendale's story is a light comedy of manners set in the city) instead of recycling the same material.
Rating: Summary: Country Mouse Makes Good! Wonderful Read! Review: I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well fleshed out and believable. Their reactions and solutions to problems were so real. Jane and Matthew reacted in accordance with the constraints of the times. She was self-sacrificing and kept her mouth shut. He was jaded and misunderstood what he saw and heard. Truly, this is why they didn't understand each other in the first place. Even I couldn't figure out how it would all work out in the end. Couldn't put this one down!
Rating: Summary: boring Review: No spark, no excitement, no suspense. Ms. Bray knows the regency, but she doesn't make us care about these characters.
