Eugenia

Although there are all sorts of serious circumstances here (penniless orphan, man accused of murder, illegitimacy, etc.)Ms. Darcy gives this book an extreme light touch. Its in the style of Georgette Heyer and I enjoyed it very much.This book is primarily about Eugenia, the penniless yet always resourceful heroine. I found her sunny disposition and pluckiness delightful. I only gave this book four stars though because I felt that the hero Richard wasn't fully fleshed out. He had great qualities but there really wasn't that much interaction between the two main characters so the romance part of the book suffered a bit. But if you're in the mood for a fun, light romance I recommend this book.
