The blurb for the book caught my eye and it didn't disappoint me. Everyone has secret fantasies, and the author created characters who have secret fantasies in an erotic regency England setting which I fell in love with. Too many regency period books are just historical romances and while this one has the usual elements of this genre, the author took it to the next level by introducing the Ball.
I have to give 3.5 stars. This could have been the start to a series and I wish the author would have taken that chance since she introduced minor characters who had the same ideals that the main characters possessed when it comes to sex. It would be interesting also to see the reaction of the ton to the main characters actions.
