The books in this trilogy are not at all as frivolous and light-hearted as the silly titles suggest. The characters are complex and flawed and the story is not your typical regency.
I found the details about perfume making a bit yawn-inducing. Lisa Kleypas has a book in her Wallflowers series that also includes a lot of information about scent, but it tied better to the story, it wasn't just information for it's own sake. I felt like Ashworth spent a lot of time informing us about things that weren't particularly important to the exposition of the characters or situation.
While reading the book, I felt as if I liked the characters for the most part, but I read the book three days ago and cannot remember much about them now. I think that suggests neither the story nor the characters are particularly enduring.
