I wanted to like this a great deal more than I did. There were genuine friendships, real familial ties, letter-writing, and best of all, women with sexual desire who didn't feel ashamed of it or shamed others about it. Unfortunately, I never really connected to any of the characters. Henry's motivations for wanting to marry Caroline felt contrived and not at all convincing and the writing lessons with Frances also felt contrived. It seemed presumptuous for someone to ask such a thing after meeting maybe once. Frances' revelation didn't really strike me either. The allusions to her past were wimpy and the big reveal was kind of glossed over. I did really like that Henry's injury wasn't healed by the power of Twue-Wuv. Overall, I found the language to be unevenly anachronistic. I may try another book by this author, but it's not going to be a priority. (

I am not a huge fan of the "in love with the heroine's best friend plot", but, yes it worked and I will ell you why.

1. First Henry was never in love. His brother and sister-in-law told him that she would be a good wife and that he should marry.

2. Frances makes a BIG mistake so she really has herself to blame when Henry thinks Caroline likes him.

3. When he gets to know Frannie he starts to like her.

4. Frannie already likes him, and cos of the Mistake she makes it all worse.

5. This book has a HEA so we all know it will end well.

There you have it, in 5 points why the plot worked for me.

In other news, I wonder who will be the next hero or heroine. I want Caroline to get a HEA. And I want a story where an old friend of Henry's gets his HEA. I do love when a book has interesting side characters you want more of.

A cute romance where mistakes are made but love is found. (

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGLE by Theresa Romain is an engaging Regency Historical Romance 1815 England. The first in her new and exciting trilogy, "The Matchmaker". Wooing the wrong woman could be dangerous or a terrible mistake for a wounded Napoleon weary soldier. War widow, Frances Whittier and war weary Henry Middlebrook are headed for disaster or at the very least one of them may need up with a broken heart. If Shakespeare only knew..... Filled with passion,wit,a bit of humor, two engaging characters, and a boat load of trouble. You do not want to miss "It Takes Two To Tangle" for it does take two plus a whole lot of romance for love to appear on the horizon. How can you go wrong? You can't! So go and pick up this intriguing story of Frances and Henry!! What an great read from a talented Regency author! A must read! Received for an honest review from the publisher.
