I'm a big Sheila Simonson far, both her regencies and her mysteries. This regency just didn't measure up to her other Regencies. I think the book was just too short. There was not enough detail about how how Jean and Sandy fell in love and not enough detail about how their mismatched stations would affect their lives going forward. I think the latter was the most dissatisfying. Even though her family were happy with the match, the book just ends abruptly when I think it got to the most interesting part -- how would they make it work. Just reread the book again and I would not change this critique at all. ( )
