Title: Not enough sparkle
Review: Although having written 26 books at the time this book was printed, this is only Ms Simmon's second historical. I am not familiar with her work, but this book felt trite and cliched to me.I found her virginal 24 year old heroine ordinary, and her duke was neither dangerous nor charming. There was some banter between them, but not enough to sparkle. The subplots were contrived and the so call secrets very easily discerned.This is not a book I would recommend, there are far better regency style (it's set in victorian times but has a regency feel to it) romances out there.
