Miss Treadwell's Talent (Signet Regency Romance)
reviewed on + 72 more book reviews


The budding relationship between a clever almost-spinster and a high born gentleman about to marry for the sake of his family line isn't a new plot premise but the story itself is marvelous (Marylene's mother holds seances for "donations" to their society for somesuch twaddle). The dialogue here, very funny and witty, raises this Regency novel above many of its peers. The author has clearly done her research - she knows an astounding number of period catchphrases and sprinkles them like gems throughout the story. I really enjoyed their banter, this one is definitely worth a read.
