This book had a lot of plot for a romance novel. At least it was good plot. I've read too many romance novels that try to masquerade with a plot and fail. This one does not. The "twins switching places" idea has been used so many times, but this book doesn't fall down because of it. The characters are likable and believable. Even the characters you hate... you like them because you hate them.

The one thing I couldn't wrap my head around is that the characters are 22ish in the book. I have a hard time believing that early twenty-somethings act like that in any era.

Bonus points for the interesting use of a brothel.

Double bonus points for including the down and dirty, poor parts of regency London.
