This book is very cute and I much enjoyed it. 

Written in the style of Georgette Heyer, we meet Lucilla Iverson who is heading to London for her first Season. Cilla loves horses, is an accomplished whip - and is somewhat incensed to be almost mown down in the Stafford streets by two gentlemen in an out of control carriage. 

The carriage is being "driven" by the very sheltered young Earl of Hartwell and his uncle, George, Duke of Silaston. 

They're mortified and impressed by the dressing down from young Cilla, and it isn't long before they meet again in London. 

The story trips on nicely from there - covering their growing friendships, Olly's (Hartwell's) growth in to a fine young man, and a rather persistent and nefarious suitor for Cilla's hand. 

The writer is clearly a great fan of Heyer and Austen, and I enjoyed this book - though I think it perhaps lacks some of the daftness and humour that defines both those authors. 

I recommend, and I'd look out for another book by this author.
