Lady Imogene Chively is kind of dreading the upcoming house party, to be
honest: her lone suitor from her recent London season is coming, and
though he is a pleasant young man and a good match, her shy personality
means entertaining any company can be a bit of a chore. Fortunately, her
bubbly friend Emily will also be on hand. Ernest Steeple, the
aforementioned suitor, does arrive, as does his brother Ben. Over the
course of that house party and the ones that follow, Imogene slowly
realizes that she is not in love with Ernest — but she may be falling in
love with Ben! Worse, a chain of seemingly accidental misfortunes have
befallen Ben. Is someone trying to get him out of the way?
I
found this Regency romance thoroughly enjoyable. The pacing was a bit
leisurely, but the characters were so nicely drawn and the plot so
interesting that I didn’t mind taking my time with it. I listened to the
audiobook, which only added to my enjoyment. Recommended to Regency
fans, and I’ll be seeking out more books by this author.
(Reviewed from an e-audiobook borrowed through my library system.)
