This is a sweet, squeaky-clean romance told in a fairy-tale cadence and traditional Regency tone. It’s kind of odd to read about a family that is so not close, especially since it is the first of a series - the unmarried sisters do not come off as sympathetic future heroines, and the married ones are so irrelevant to the story, I wonder why the characters even exist. This is rife with love triangles, which I ABHOR, and knocked it down at least a half star, but there was definitely some delicious angst, which I love, and an extremely dense hero, which I did not. over halfway through the book, he is still in love with the Other Woman, and at 80% he still thinks about the heroine as a sister... made it harder for me to buy their romance, but it is still pulled off, just (3.5 stars) ( )
