 I picked this up on a whim, wanting something light, fluffy, and Regency to read. I'm not sure it is Regency (I don't know my historical eras all that well) but it was definitely light and fluffy! Izzy is a delight, funny, quirky, and only prone to swooning from hunger rather than aggressive handsome lords. She's also kind-hearted and frank about her passions, which is a unique and enjoyable change of pace from the typically more sheltered heroines of harlequin romances.
This read to me like a loose Beauty and the Beast (Disney version) retelling without the magic elements, and I loved the subplot of the book series based on Izzy's life and that Ransom is a big grump who she roundly (and sweetly) puts in his place through sheer discombobulation. Also, I appreciated that he remained blind; there was no 'saving' or 'healing' of his disability. Rather, he learned to accept it and reshape his identity as a blind man. Overall, very sweet and fun and silly.
