Query: first rate intelligent and thoughtful regency ...

I've been hearing great things about this author so I thought to give her a try. In this case they were right!Miss Pickens knows how to write an enjoyable, intelligent, exciting and fun regency romance. The hero and heroine of this tale are both widowers, and Allegra has been secretly hired by the Earl's son to tutor him.Allegra is a fantastic heroine-highly intelligent but loving and compassionate as well. The Earl is what every great regency hero should be-brooding and moody at first-but through the story we learn of the reasons why as well as seeing him open up under the heroines guidence and connection.The story is a tad more sensuous than your typical regency but certainly nothing offensive. The story ends on a dramatic note that was enjoyable.If you like regency's by Balogh, Kelley, Quick or Coulter-then I highly recommend this book. Andrea Pickens is an author to watch.5 stars:)
