6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Excellent writing and editing By Loki's Girl I confess to having a not so secret weakness for Regency romances. I adore the civility of the era as well as the historical English setting. As it happens, I voted for Captain and Countess during its Kindle Scout run, so I received a complimentary copy from Amazon, not the author.The book delivers in spades. Excellent writing and editing. Lively dialogue. Good pacing. And OMG, blow your socks off sensuous love scenes! Granted, they're not as explicit as many contemporary erotica pieces but they were both over the top tasteful and well done. My hat is off to Alice Gaines. I loved every word and I'll definitely read whatever she write next.This is a fantastically fun story. You'll fall in love with Jason and Bess and many of the secondary characters as well. There are moments when you become frustrated with the main characters for being somewhat obtuse but it's all part of the fun and a good buildup. I'm thrilled to be able to recommend it.And a hat tip to the cover artist. What a lovely visual.

By Miss Eliza The characters are engaging, the plot amusing, and the writing is not bad, so I gave this two stars for those things. However, I don't like romances where the sex is supposed to convey all the romance. I don't object to sex scenes, just the fact that there was no romance except for the sex. Since the two lead characters hop into bed right away, I felt cheated of the build up-- the feelings of longing, uncertainty, and growing affection that should come along with and precede the sex. Without the romance, what you have is a predictable and unengaging read. Took me weeks to finish, while I would normally finish a romance in a day or two at most. I like regencies because they tend to have more of these emotional nuances-- except that there is a whole trend for authors to get sloppy and lazy and they seem to churn out sex scenes because they lack the skill to write about complex emotions. This book felt very much like the author was writing a formula that would sell. I guess sex does sell, but I want some ROMANCE in my romance novels
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A heads up to Jane Austen fans By Jamber Jane Austen haunts the pages of this regency romance, and she does so with a vigorous nod of approval. I'm difficult to please when it comes to historical fiction because it's so tough to capture use of language and tone without sounding contrived, but Ms. Gaines's prose is an effortless read, beautifully paced, and brimming with evocative detail of period and place. The novel departs from conventional offerings in this genre with characters that are fresh, multi-faceted, and richly layered. Bess is smart, generous, and irresistible; Jason, whose idiotic choices are central to the novel's drama, both seduces and infuriates the reader; and the tension and heat generated between the two protagonists is palpable. Witty dialogue and repartee and a cast of secondary characters add vibrant texture to the story. It makes perfect sense that Alice Gaines is an award-winning novelist--she writes well and shows an astute, timeless understanding of human nature.
