The characters are enjoyable and the setting and time period wonderfully described, but this is really 3 short stories squeezed together rather than one novel. I'm generally pretty good at the "suspension of disbelief" but I had some trouble with this one. A regency miss didn't consider the fact that an out of wedlock pregnancy would render her unsuitable to her social circle until after she had sex? Seriously? Also, I like full length romance because it gives some time for the characters to fall in love before having sex. The short story nature of this work has them jumping into bed a little quickly for my tastes.
