Light Entertaining Romance

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

This is a quick, light regency romance. It centers on Henrietta, who has pined for Oliver since childhood. She decides to wear a mask to a ball and is suddenly the talk of the town with the attention of many different gentlemen, including Oliver. So the question becomes, will it be Oliver she persues? I only wish the author had Henrietta do a big reveal at the end to see everyone's reaction. Overall, very enjoyable.

The narrator, Sally Roughton, did a very nice job.

Halloween in the Regency

If you enjoy a well-written Regency romance, you will enjoy this book. Henrietta is a young woman who is in love with her childhood friend, Oliver. Her overbearing mother has put out an ultimatum: Henrietta must be engaged by Halloween! However, Henri wants to marry for love, not out of an obligation or arranged marriage.

The narrator did a great job and added a lot to the book. If you are looking for a light-hearted Regency romance without a lot of intrigue, you will enjoy this book.
