A Fresh Perspective

This was the first Regency I ever read, so it probably holds a soft spot in my heart. But believe me, I am a critical reader and would not have loved it for that reason alone. The characters in this book are unique and realistic. I was able to see how their thoughts and feelings affected them as well as their lives and the situations they found themselves in. They are likable and understandably conflicted, and you want them to get together.The scene at the waterfall when the lovers first kiss gave me shivers when I read it--not because it's overtly sexy, but because Fairchild does such a good job with words describing everything, I felt like I was there. The whole book is like that--very sensual in the sense that you can almost see and hear and touch the surroundings.
