An uneasy mix of modern day chick lit and regency romantic adventure comedy. It was hard for me to stay interested in the modern parts as that heroine seemed so utterly trivial-minded and her hero a cardboard enigma. Would have worked better for me if it had been set all in the past. The one thing it has going for it throughout is that the author has a nice prose style -- but style alone couldn't carry it for me.
