aaw! That is how I describe Kate and Thomas in one word. I love Thomas' character, that he's not a stereotypical rake and is actually a respectable gentleman. And I love the drama between him and Kate, it's so every exciting. The only thing's I can complain about.. is sometimes there are modern phrases (and eat my dust was actually not as obvious as others), and not enough chemistry! I loved the dance scene where Thomas pulled her close and touched her bare back, I wanted more! But I guess that's what makes them sweet and different from typical rake+innocent stories. Thanks for a great read, you must keep writing more!

Oh, wonderful, wonderful! It's a plus for you because you don't have extremely long boring paragraphs that aren't at all necessary for the story, unlike most "Regency England" stories. This read was definitely enjoyable too. It made me happier, pulling me out of my depression. Nothing too serious, it's just that sometimes we have one of those periods where we just get so depressed, don't we all? Or well, I guess it may be just me, but I rather doubt that.

Just two things I'm not so happy about. Sorry.

Firstly, I really REALLY am bugged by authors who declare things along this line "I won't update unless I get 20 more reviews.". It's like coercion, you know. Not at all nice, and very immature, frankly speaking. I was disappointed that you were one of those authors. I thought you were much more mature, considering the style in which you write. Well, I'm hoping you're not like that anymore. I'm deeply sorry for the insult or whatever it may seem like to you, but I am a frank person. This is just my opinion.

Also, you had some run on sentences. Just an example: "I am so sorry that she happened to you, but you have to know that I would never do what she did and I am so sorry for everything that happened with Nathaniel, he meant absolutely nothing to me." This was said in the last part of the last chapter. "I am so sorry that she happened to you. But you have to know that I would never do what she did, and I am so sorry for everything that happened with Nathaniel. He meant absolutely nothing to me." That would have been an improvement. Or maybe not. I admit I may not be the best grammar teacher out here. But as I said earlier, this is just my opinion, and in this case, my suggestion.

The other issue is just kind of a subtopic of the previous one. You have to correct your usage of commas and semicolons.

But all in all, it was a good read. I fell in love with it, and I hope you do continue writing. This story is definitely one of my favorites. Just don't coerce your readers, ok? Hahaha...Thanks for your time. I hope you take my opinions open-mindedly. I'd prefer if you'd take them as constructive criticisms and not as insults. :)

With all that said, buh-bye!

I just read up to here because I hadn't the time. But I must say...I'm intrigued by your first chapter. It's a very interesting style of writing you're using...the nice narration switching from first person and third person. Well done. Usually Regency romances are all third person. Anyways, I just love any story that's written in this era. Good job!

&etc.,

Dear God, *I* want to throttle Kate. We do not live in Regency England or anything, but I am pretty sure that my husband would have been more than a little ** if I had cavorted and carried on flirting with a man he had warned me was a scoundrel while we were engaged. Of course, he has never warned me of anyone's scoundrel-hood...nor have I cavorted and carried on with anyone besides him. But back then, when everything was so strict and the smallest thing could ruin a woman, Kate is being awfully cavalier with her reputation. Especially since whatever her reputation is will reflect on her sister, and if nobody wants her, nobody will want her sister. You would think that a woman that is supposed to be intelligent would take the time to realize that Thomas, a man she grew up with, is warning her that Nathaniel is a rake, and Nathaniel is a man she has placed entirely too much trust and loyalty in considering she has known him for what, a week? I feel no loyalty to anyone until I am very close friends with them...someone I have known for not even a month would not qualify for my loyalty. I hope Anne just comes out and tells here sister what a moron she is being soon, because I would enjoy that.

Also, in an earlier chapter, when Anne and Kate go to get their dresses...the dress maker is supposed to be from France, right? Because the accent you have is a mix between French and German (saying "will" as "vill" would be German, not French...they pronounce "w" normally in France). Although I suppose she could have lived along the border and therefore had to be bilingual. There was something else, I think...but it cannot have been important if I d not remember it now. Cheers!

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I knew that no good SOB Nathaniel was up to something when he wouldn't name the girl he was supposedly in love with. He's a sneaky little rat. *digust*

I'm glad things worked out in the end. Great story.

Wowzers! I read this a while back, but I seen it again the other day and decided to reread it. It's such a cute ficcy! Now I'm grinning like an idiot, as I usually do after reading a romantic story or seeing a romantic movie with a happy ending. BRAVOS to you!!

I loved your story. It was extremely well written. The plotline was also very well done. Yeah, I sound like one of those old ladis or something. What I am trying to say is that: I loved your story completely!! Totally amazing.
