    “Neville displays a signature blend of froth and history . . . Neville’s characterizations are down to earth: the women are pretty without being ravishing and principled without being irrational, and Thomas is open to expanding his horizons. The one drawback of such pleasantly believable protagonists is that their problems always appear equally life-sized. Drama may be somewhat lacking in their adventures, but delight is not.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “This isn’t your cookie cutter Regency-set romance . . . The characters are different and their relationship is fun and entertaining.” —All About Romance
