I loved it!

The plot was perfect and the characters were wonderful!

I don't know if I liked it so much because I could identify with the leading lady being a home body (which is a significant part of the story) or what but I just thought it was a lovely story.

There were just a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments} but it was completely clean and sweet.

You have no doubt by the end of the book what the rest of the series will be about and I am super excited for them :)

I can and will wholeheartedly recommend this book!

Recommendable

I liked it :)

It had one or two unique elements in the story that set it apart from a lot of other regencies.

There were definitely a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments} and the littlest bit of {Too Much Passion} but everything else was very agreeable.

I would be able to recommend this book quite easily.

This was probably my favorite of the three in this series.

Very cute story even if the plot is a bit unbelievable.

I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't feel like this one had {Too Much Passion} like the others.  The only issue I had was that there were several {Uncomfortable Moments}.

I would still be comfortable recommending it though.

Probably Recommend (with explanation)

Another enjoyable Shakespearian Regency!

This one is based on Much Ado About Nothing.

Again, not knowing the original well, I can't compare the two but I loved the storyline.

There was just a little too much description with the kissing scenes...hence the {Too Much Passion} rating but other than that it was perfectly acceptable.

Looking forward to reading the last installment and will recommend this with a bit of an explanation in the mean time.

This was such an interesting book to read...so different and yet, I liked it.

It was short and sweet but had plenty of adventure.

The young woman seemed extremely naive and at first it bothered me.  I couldn't see where the story would go because of it but I am happy with how it concluded.

The only thing I had against it was a possible {Uncomfortable Moment} or two but barely.

I could easily recommend this book as something cute but different from the usual regency romance.

Could Probably Recommend

I really liked this book.  I didn't know how I would feel about a retelling of Shakespeare, but seeing how I am the uncultured woman that I am, I didn't even know the story of A Midsummer Night's Dream so it was just another regency to me.  I liked how it seemed to have multiple elements going on though...not just one simple storyline.  It was cute, and I feel, well done.

However, there was just a bit {Too Much Passion} and a couple of mildly {Uncomfortable Moments}.

I feel like it was tame enough that I could probably recommend it though and I look forward to reading the next one.

There was some depth to this story...different facets that were interesting...even a little bit of a mystery.

However, there was also {Too Much Passion} for my taste.  Just too descriptive with the kissing.

Also, there was a {Back Story} with a bit of an inappropriate relationship that you find out about at the end of the book.

Good story, good characters but it did have a couple of counts against it in my opinion so I would have a hard time giving it my complete stamp of approval and recommending it.
