Never a Bride

Never a Bride - Amelia Grey 3 stars for the duo of Camden and Mirabella. They are lovely, passionate, honest, fun to see fall in love. The problem is that their setting Regency London is not credible with them in it. They are too free, too modern for lack of a better word. I would have enjoyed this duo even more in a more modern setting like the suffragette period or post WW1 or WW2. Mirabella is a wonderful female character that I wish I would see more of. Camden started out a bit too straigth and uptight but soon became more three dimensional and human. Both are not paper thin characters. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3 stars.
