Meg Cabot
A breezy, funny Regency romance with an unforgettable heroine--from the bestselling author of The Princess Diaries series and many well-loved romances. Nicola Sparks has fallen in love, big time. The object of her dreams is the fabulously rich Lord Sebastian, he of the ice-blue eyes, golden hair, and full-on mastery of the dance floor. To Nicky, Lord S. is a god. But are gods always quite as perfect as they are meant to be? Nicola, sixteen and an orphan, always gets what she wants. She's ready to dive headlong into her first glittering London society season. She's also ready to dive headlong into the arms of handsome and debonair Lord Sebastian. Nicola's dream is a proposal from the viscount--a dream she's about to realize at last! So naturally, Nathaniel Sheridan's insinuations about her fiancé's flawed character annoy her mightily. But when Nicola's natural curiosity gets the best of her, she begins to piece together a few things for herself. To her great surprise, Nicola realizes she's had the wrong viscount all along . . . but is it too late to make things right? Nicola could feel Lord Sebastian's heart beating. It was the most delightful feeling in the world. Surely it meant that The God liked her. More than simply liked her--loved her even. It had to! It just had to!

"<strong>Cute satisfying story</strong><br/><br/>Don't go into this expecting an historically accurate snapshot of life in the Victorian Era. Go into it for a light, quick read and a sweet romance. The characters are fun if a little flat, and quite enjoyable."

"I'm more of a fan of Meg Cabot's adult books but as far as YA Regency Romance goes, this isn't bad at all.<br/><br/>The story starts out with Nicola Sparks, an orphan, moving from one family's home to another. She's currently living with her friend from finishing school and their family. The girl is the same age as Nicola and has an older brother, Nathaniel, who's kind of dick in the beginning. It seems like wherever she moves, she falls in love with the guy. It's a little vapid that way. Like, really? There's not a lot of depth to the love story in the beginning. As the book progresses (it's relatively short, by HR YA standards), she realizes how much of a turd viscount #1 is and how she's just better off alone. She's also trying to save her family home, left to her by her father, from greedy relatives and relatives' friends. That part was cute, how she stood her ground and wanted to save her legacy manor. <br/><br/>The 3rd act conflict (kidnapping & attempted forced marriage) is really good and you get to see Nathaniel save the day. The kiss at the end was SOOOO cute & I liked the last chapter of the book.<br/><br/>All in all, it was cute, breezy little book with a great story."
