Debut Regency Romance Not Without Its Charms
10:42 AM

Both settle in for a dull, unpleasant journey. When their carriage is attacked by highwaymen, it becomes apparent that the trip will be anything but boring. Indeed, it grows more interesting by the hour. Forced together on this unlikely adventure, Sir Anthony and Ginny will spend considerable time together. Enough time to realize just how different they really are—and how little that matters when it comes to affairs of the heart.
Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind by first-time author Heidi Ashworth is an enjoyable Regency romance. The story is predictably lighthearted and humorous, with characters who aren't exactly original, but who are entertaining nonetheless. Though the plot gets a little silly (all the confusion between the characters could have been cleared up easily if they had just spoken plainly to one another), I still found the book to be a fun, easy read, the kind I like to enjoy between more demanding books. Like I said, it's not all that original or surprising and yet, it definitely has its charms.
(Readalikes: Reminded me of books by Sarah M. Eden)
Grade: B-
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG for mild sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: Another library

I used to read so many regency romance novels that I'm afraid I burned myself out. They're fun but oh so predictable. I'm always happy when a debut author does well, though.
