Mwahaha! I'm special. Anyways. Love 25. It's so giddy with emotion that it almost feels like a journal entry. First kisses are fabulous things. ;)Love the rest of it too!

Here, I'd *suspected* that little development...

I couldn't be sure...until I went back and checked that little list of names you have on the first chappie...

Haha, I rather like the story you have going here. Unconventional, most certainly, but I can't wait to see where it goes!

*checks family tree* Damn...I'm only like a quarter Brit. Ah well. Anyways...to the story at hand. *gasp* MISS Radclyffe! I practically flopped out of my chair at that dramatic revelation. What a positively delicious and scandalous twist! Brava! Amazing! And that William...quite a good-hearted cutie, very much suited to our beloved heroine. This just keeps getting better and better. I will be quite sad when it ends. :)

Loving this so far, keep up the good work.

Whe! The plot thickens! I am so glad you're back. Thank you for your surprising proposition; I shall indeed consider it. Any child with your genes in the mix will be blessed indeed. Anyways...Mr. Radclyffe is quite a rascally little rascal, isn't he?Please keep up the amazingly authentic work! I have you on my author alert so I will be notified immediately of any new installments. As to the question you posed us readers on your profile: I am naturally crazy about Renaissance England, but Feudal Japan would certainly be an interesting twist in your career. :)

I love your story. It's so great. Does Emma really like Mr. Leighton or not. I'd like to know if they're all acting or whatnot. Please write lots more!

Good fiction but I would enjoy it more if you make your chapters a little bit more longer hehe. By the by, great job on this fiction. Please continue

Fabulously masterful work, as usual! But you left us all hanging - is Radclyffe really a cheating scoundrel or the sweet, devoted lover we'd all secretly like him to be? By the way, the letters your characters write are AMAZING. Very historically accurate and beautiful. Keep writing!

wow... truly written as it would have in the eighteenth century, bravo. I write regency fictions as well but i dont have the talent to follow the way you style your words as they would have long ago. I envy you, *sigh*

**Sigh!** This is so romantic. You have no idea how much I'm enjoying this! Please keep writing!

Mix together my last two reviews, add a few more "brilliant"s, "magnificent"s,
"splendid"s, and one "you're a bloody marvelous writer," and you'll basically get what I'm thinking right now. Please update again soon! This is such a delightful gem of a story, and you are SUCH a talented writer!

This superb little read is truly gathering both momentum and my growing admiration. You are consistently retaining that wonderful universal appeal that Ms. Austen’s pen was blessed with, but also progressively moving out of her formidable shadow to establish your own place in the ranks of this delightful genre! Snaps also for the tremendous vocabulary; such a vivid cache of delicious, aptly-used words is rarely found in a humble online forum such as this. Please keep up the brilliant work, Tomoe!
p.s. No need to thank us for reading your work; I think I speak for all of the reviewers when I say that reading "Truth & Trickery" has been an unparalleled delight!

You have completely captured the spirit of this era and it's absolutely wonderful! Your writing is articulate and charming, and this story is truly coming along beautifully! Keep up the marvellous work!

Have you ever read "Wideacre" by Phillipa Gregory? Because it this story has a small resembelence to it. Not only by the style of writing but of course, the name of Mr. Leighton's estate. Anyway, this story is quite good in it's own right, and i enjoyed reading it. Though, perhaps you should make you chapter a bit shorter. I can't speak for everyone, but I do know that a good many people prefer a shorter chapter to a longer one, as long as is it not too short. Nevertheless, it is very promising. Keep up the good work!
