A Very Pleasant Read

I liked the story and the message behind it. It told a growing process of an irresponsible, wild young man developed into a cosiderate, brave man through fulfilling his punishment as a coachman. Ms. Wynn had a pleasant way of telling the story, and I had fun to see the hero, Jack, made his gradual transformation; I especially like the ending, it was pleasing to read about two people's dedication to one another. I also enjoyed the book cover very much, it gave a very accurate representation of Jack and Cecily when they first met. I recommend this book.

Traditional Regency

From the back of the book: She knew he was no ordinary servant of the road Fleeing from an unwanted visitor, The Honourable Cecily Wolverton was forced to travel by Royal Mail Coach to her grandfather's estate. The driver, Jack Henley, was a pleasant companion. Had she not known better, she would have taken him for a gentleman. Much to her surprise, one month later, Mr. Henley was brought to the estate with a broken leg. Though he tried valiantly to stay in his place, Cecily had many reasons to suspect that he was not at all what he seemed. Nevertheless, Cecily was glad of his equanimitable company, especially when her villainous cousin arrived on a bogus errand of mercy. She had come to depend on her mysterious guest, but dared not examine the reason why too closely.
