I love that this novel and the Bridgertons are really set in the same world. (I think the ex spies as well. There was a Lady Danbury after all.. I need to check back and look if I'm right or not..) What is this type of thing called? Companion-series'? It's not a real Spin Off after all. * * *Finished: I'm too lazy to write a review now. However, here come a few impressions:1. See above, I like the same setting-thing.2. Very funny and I love that she included that darn novel.3. Also nice that the protagonists orignally didn't like eachother.4. Not that much angst this time. The main conflict had nothing to do with the protagonists, but with the situation they were in. Don't know if I like or dislike it. It was easier to read, but felt a little hollow in the end.. And here I was the first one to complain that I didn't like all the angst.5. Friends first. Yes, the hero and heroine actually felt as if they were friends.6. The pedo vibe. I don't know why but for some reasons the hero didn't feel as if he was 28, but 58 and the heroine wasn't ~20, she was suddenly 15 in my mind. Not all the time, but sometimes. 7. No real connection. Again, I don't know why, but it didn't work out this time. BUT I think it is a very enjoyable, light and funny read. Where I would usually give this a 3 star rating, I think the funny parts (and there were lots) were really good and damn, it's almost 2012, why not give the book a freaking 4 stars? Right. : )
