Summary: Awful & Horrible
Comment: I purchased this book so I could read several new author's work. ALL the stories were depressing, stupid, and not at all like the satsifyingly happy and well-developed good regency book. The character were usually unorigonal, and the ladies did not behave independently. The plots were fantastic and unrealstic. I hated it and when I was done I felt drained, depressed, and angry at myself for having read the stories. They did not portray the Regency Era as as a time that could be fun and full of adventure. Why couldn't Georgette Heyer have written more books?
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Regency Read
Comment: A fine collection--witty, detailed, accurate, fun. What more can you ask for? I especially liked the story by Isobel Linton, "A Last Waltz."
Rating: 1
Summary: Poorly written, lacking in charm
Comment: A very disappointing read. I purchased this book in the faint hope that I could find a writer that equalled Georgette Heyer in wit and charm in this genre. There is nothing here that even approaches Ms. Heyer and a lot that will make any intelligent woman squirm. Do not waste your money. I would have accorded this book less than one star but that was the lowest option available.
