Excellent story! I think a 24-year-old hero actually seeing the error of his ways & changing virtually overnight is a little far-fetched but the heroine is perfectly lovely. Her history is quite fuzzy, however. Perhaps the author felt it was unimportant, but I have to admit, I was curious. :)

This reminded me of another book called "Jack on the Box" by Patricia Wynn which also with a very similar motive and reasoning to have its hero (also named Jack) disciplined by taking away both Jacks' privileges so they could learn to understand the value of money and developing an appreciation for life. While the other book was more on personal growth, Ms. Summerville's story was more adventurous, it made a fun read. And I do agree with other reviewer, the ever-changing eye color does make one wonder what was going through writer's mind when she wrote the book, fortunately it wasn't too bothersome. Incidentally, this story also reminds me of another Ms. Summerville's book called "Duke's disappearance", also dealing with an aristocrat in incognito, that was a pretty good read, too.

This was a good read. Entertaining and sweet. The plot moved along nicely. Ms. Summerville had a continuity problem, though. During the first 90 pages, our hero, Jack, could not decide what color to keep his eyes. First we met up with a brown eyed gentlemen on page 33. On page 76, his brown eyes turned blue. But, finally on page 89 and beyond, he settled into grey eyes. It did make for interesing, as in comical, reading. However, desipte the author's lack of decision, this was an very entertaining Regency .
