Good plot, poor execution. Too much tell vs show. Out of period language- cents vs pennies. Tried to tie up too many loose ends. Failed to let actions and dialogue portray the story/characters. Could have done with extensive editing. ( )

This is a clever regency. The heroine is a bit different from the normal regency miss. She is always being kidnapped by buffomish young men, but manages to cleverly get out of it each time. She is a little bit of a schemer. Do not read the back cover blurb--it's totally incorrect. ( )
