Valentine's Day Ball

How many books are there that can brag about being two people's reason for addiction to a genre? Well, this book is given that honor. My younger sister and I were both suffering from a Dickensian gloom when we spied this book at a book sale. Throwing caution to the wind, we swooped it up, took it home, and were utterly entranced. The lovely romance is at the same time sweet, exciting, and utterly charming. And there is also the added bonus of several appropriate quotations from Oliver Goldsmith's play "She Stoops to Conquer", which prompted us to devour that as well. So here we have a book that prompted two people to inhale not one, but TWO genres: 18th century theatre and Regency romance. What more could one want?
