Very nice romance. I very much liked the premise of the gorgeous bachelor falling for someone he initially though utterly forgettable. Throughout the story we get to see his discovery of the real gem of a person inside. I liked all characters in the story, very well developed and real. The story moves at a good pace and I was hooked from the beginning. There are so many sub plots and happening, but I think these were necessary for the constant interaction between the H and h. The only bone I have to pick is the ending, very deflating I thought. First there is a wrench needlessly (I thought) thrown towards the end, and then the ending was underwhelming. This is an instance where I could have done with more romance.

good historical detail, i believe this was originally titled The Corinthians...she's a very good writer more substantial than most Regency Romance writers and I appreciate she doesnt stoop to sexual content.
Despite having very little romance this is a very enjoyable read for any fan of the Regency Romance genre. The author's style of writing reminds me of Georgette Heyer - the characters act and talk within the confines of the Regency period as created by the aforementioned authoress. It's not simply a bunch of 21st century characters placed in Regency England. The book is a pleasure to read. My apologies for not providing plot details other reviewer's have done a far better job than I could.
"Exile!" Julia was despondent. Her disapproving father was seding her to the family castle on the Cornish coast, far from the man she loved.

"Adventure!" her cousin Octavia rejoiced, when Julia invited her for a visit. Here she would enjoy picnics and boat rides and perhaps daring escapades, far from the cares and responsibilities of her father's household. But Octavia discovers that adventures can be dangerous as well as thrilling when she helps Julia smuggle her suitor into the castle. For what's a girl to do when she finds a den of real smugglers? And how can she heal her heart when the dashing gentleman she chooses to protect her chooses to court someone else?
The romance aspect of this book is a bit slim, because most of the story involves intrigue about smugglers, and it isn't until the last few pages that the hero and heroine figure out they love each other. There are two other secondary romances--one between the heroine's cousin Julia and a political activist, and one between the housekeeper and a smuggler. By the way, in this book, the smugglers are neither bad, nor dangerous, and the main characters are actually cheering for the, which made for an interesting perspective. What made the book most enjoyable was the gradual revealing of the characters' personalities, the fun dialogue, and the playing out of the plot. I laughed out loud when the heroine, Octavia, accidentally becomes "foxed" by drinking spiked cider. There was humor and mystery in this novel, combined in an effective way. It isn't so much a "romance" novel as it is a novel with a bit of romance. A great light read to entertain for several hours. It is long enough to allow for good development of character and plot, but not weighty at all. Highly recommended! I wish the author would write more like this one.
Just a delightful, fun read. All the characters are very likeable. Carola does it again and thoroughly entertains the reader.
