Summary from Goodreads:

Julia North is nearing the end of her third London season and has just been jilted. Again! All she wants is to leave London and its eligible gentlemen behind. When the opportunity to leave for two months comes her way, Julia jumps at the chance. But her mother will only let her leave on the condition that she choose Julia's next suitor, and her mother isn't nearly as picky as Julia would like. Against her better judgment, Julia makes the promise and leaves town, only to run into Henry Chamberlain. Julia is warned that his heart is locked up tight, but she doesn t need to be warned away from him; Julia has been jilted enough to know that his flirtatious smiles can't be taken seriously. With time running out, a change of mind and a change of heart is their only chance for the joy that only true love can bring.

At the beginning of this story, there is a little backstory into Julia’s mom and her potential snob (suitor). I’m glad the story didn’t follow them. The male was definitely a piece of work, but now that I think about it, it would probably be a little funny at times if it did follow them. The guy made Julia’s mother promise him that they wouldn’t get married until her daughters did because he didn’t want to shell out money for their doweries. Based on this alone, I can see a union between the two to be pretty loveless. As the story progresses, you’ll probably see the same traits in Julia’s mother.

Anway,I didn’t think there was a lot of action to this story.  Think there was a lot of emotional back and forth insecurity. I think I’m more a plot driven person. I liked the story a bit at times, but I really wanted more exciting things to happen. This might just be a problem that regencies can have. I do really enjoy them, but it’s much more about the people themselves. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but I just need a little more action. I did enjoy the ending and the two main characters I just needed a little more.
