Summary: Traditional Regency
Review: Rather interesting book that manages to get in a few digs about the class system, laws that could heavily penalise those who happened to be walking in the wrong place, who were above the law and just how dependant the upper classes were on their servants. Normally I dislike books about physicians since they are invariably dour Scots who save lives only to have their patients fall in love with them. This one at least was believable, and surrounded with devious other characters who seemed to take pleasure in manoeuvring the plot along. Jane, the heroine, I particularly liked, especially the way she used her head to get out of difficulties.From the dust cover of the Mills & Boon large print edition... A level-headed man... Lady Jane Beresford accepted an invitation to stay with her cousin, Lady Elizabeth Knightley, but the visit was marred by meeting Dr Thomas Carrington. Tom had little patience with social etiquette, and his blunt attitude irritated Jane out of her own good manners! Then they were drawn together and Tom fell in love, but he knew, if she didn't, that an Earl's daughter was far above his touch... A Regency delight!

Summary: Book 2 of Lady Knightley's Secret
Review: This is more a story of Elizabeth and Richard or Hetty and Perry than Lady Jane and Dr Carrington. If you have read Lady Knightley's Secret, then it is nice to see what happened to Elizabeth, Richard and Dr Carrington 3 years later. Otherwise the interaction between the two main characters seemed superfacial. If not for their friends and the aunt, I suspect that the romance would come to its natural death ! To me, the side plots and supporting characters were much more interesting.
