Eh, it was fine? Romain and I just might not click, which is fine. I didn't hate this at all, but it took forever for me to actually finish it. I just kept forgetting about it until there were like four days left on the checkout, renewing it, and then forgetting again. I liked both the main characters, but wish Augusta had a little bit more spark - which seems like an odd thing to say about a character who takes on a false identity in a new town, but here we are. I actually enjoyed the supporting characters a lot in this, both Augusta's friend and Joss's cousin, who was ridiculous and funny without being completely unbelievable. All in all, this was a perfectly fine Regency, but not much more than that. (And if you were to take a drink every time you read “my dear fake widow” or “dockyard,” you would get drunk very quickly.)
