Well written Regency Romance,
This review is from: Miss Timothy Perseveres (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
This is one of the best written regencies I've read and I've read hundreds. I've been addicted to regencies for about 10 years. They calm me before I go to bed at night. Often the writing, especially the writing of the newer Regency authors, is not up to the quality of the older regencies. This book is well written, I carries your attention all the way through with no skipping of repetitive paragraphs, etc. Highly recommend.

This was exceedingly well written and the flow was very excellent. I have re-read this multiple times because it was such a good story.

I love regencies, especially the old school ones like this. I tried to read this one, but I quit about halfway through, when I gave up on any of the main characters showing signs of developing a personality.This book is just awful. We are introduced to the heroine (Persys) at her cousin's wedding, where we are told the heroine is in love with her cousin's soon-to-be husband. Why does she love him? We aren't told. She, like most Regency heroines, has endured horrible hardship; in this case, she's lived with an aunt who cares little for her, and she's had to hire a maid with her own money! (This is a sign of the heroine's complete lack of intelligence - she has very little money, so she hires a maid, instead of saving up.) She meets the hero at the wedding, and he becomes interested in her. Why? She has violet eyes!! Really, that's about the only redeeming feature she has. She's not very bright. I'm used to heroines who don't figure out things that are patently obvious to the reader, but this girl is about as intelligent as my dog and not nearly as interesting. But, as we're reminded on every other page, she has violet eyes!!! She has some uninteresting and unwitty repartee with the hero, who is little better than the heroine: he evinces little personality and gives the reader no reason to care about him. The two main characters are generic, and the author doesn't seem to know much about the Regency period. Sure, she throws in famous names, but the heroine's father was a baron, and, instead of being raised by the perfectly pleasant cousin who inherited the title, the heroine was not provided for at his death, and she was sent to an aunt who didn't want her. There are other inconsistencies - on one page, the heroine thinks about how she has nothing to do, and on the next she tells the hero she's been so busy, she hasn't had time to do anything but work. These could be minor, but they add up. All in all, I would not recommend this book to anyone, unless you want a paean to violet eyes.
