It was refreshing to read a Regency era romance that colors outside the lines. I’d always taken the fact that peers marry peers as sort of a rule for that period, but this book breaks the rules and does a marvelous job of it. I loved the story and really enjoyed learning some of the history of the period too, without having to wade through a lot of narrative or info dump. Expertly done.
