I really tried to get into this book but failed to do so. Got just over half way through but still could not finish.

I SO enjoyed this book! Loved the characters - redheaded, tall Meg and Sedgewick! Meg's Grandmother, brother, each character was so well done and real! I like that Ms. Hern doesn't go overboard on the descriptions of everything from the weather to the beautiful gowns to the decor of a room. She gives you just the right amount of details. I could envision each person, the manor home and stables, the different "accidents" that happened to Sedge, the whole scene was laid out beautifully and didn't get tedious or boring. I am a great fan of this author! This was an exceptional story!

I loved the story line of this book. It kept me interested. Especially where she fell in love with the gentleman from her past.

This was a really good book. I typically don't read this type of book, but I found it very interesting...I also expected more steamy hot "bleep-bleep". lol

A fun traditional regency romance with a very nontraditional heroine. Meg, a 6-foot tall redhead, gets a second chance at the only man who danced with her during her sole London season, when Lord Sedgewick is badly injured in a carriage accident near Meg's home. Ms. Hern does such a wonderful job of taking a traditional regency plot and populating it with memorable characters to give her unlikely heroines their own happy-ever-afters. Great read!

I ought to have said "a hero to die" as someone is trying to kill him! But no spoilers here. I did fall in love with Sedge, though. I loved his confused reactions when things didn't go precisely as he'd hoped, especially toward the end when he thought he was literally losing his mind! The identity of the villain won't surprise, but the scene of his unmasking was wonderful, and very romantic. Two thumbs up!

All of the characters are great. It is so good, that you don't realize that no one rolled in the hay, until it was over and it don't mind one bit. This is the best kind of book.

This was such a fun book. The too-tall Meg and the even taller Sedge were a delightful couple. I totally fell in love with Sedge. Highly recommended. The cover is to die for. Gorgeous!

This is such a fun book, an excellent example of the traditional Regency genre. I love that the heroine is 6-feet tall. Once gangly and awkward, she is now a long-legged, shapely beauty. But I totally fell in love with the hero and his infectious smile. Their scenes together positively sparkled. Once again, Ms. Hern favors us with a colorful set of secondary characters. No vanilla throwaway characters in any of her trads. I hold out hopes that Sir Terrence, the heroine's brother, will be the hero of his own book one day.

Overview
Fans of the traditional Regency Romances of Georgette Heyer, Barbara Metzger, and Jo Beverley will enjoy this witty, entertaining romance from New York Times bestselling author Candice Hern. Meg Ashburton's single London Season had been a disaster. Skinny, red-haired, and 6-feet tall, she had been overlooked as an insignificant gawky bumpkin by all of Society, especially by the gentlemen. Except for one man. Lord Sedgewick had danced with her, and she had secretly fallen in love with him. Now, six years later, a carriage accident near Meg's country home finds a seriously-injured Sedge thinking he's dead, with a red-haired angel bending over him. Meg does her best to insure that the only man she's ever loved doesn't die
