I am a great fan of traditional regencies and this is one of my favourite stories.
I would judge this as one of Ms Dunn's best Regency efforts, along with Two Corinthians, A Poor Relation and Lavender Lady.
After Georgette Heyer, she, alongside Carla Kelly, Edith Layton (her better efforts) and Mary Kingswood, I believe, are amongst the best of the traditional Regency authors. Mary Balogh's earlier books are also vastly enjoyable.
I shall be reading her Daisy Dalrymple's murder mysteries next.

Eh.
It was great and awesome until they got to the whole novel author mix up and the "a little boxed" confession.

Absolutely no Big Misunderstandings here--when the hero and heroine figure out each other's secrets, they just go "yeah that makes sense" and move on. (Wynn previously wrote gothic novels to support his family; Pippa writes political essays under a male pseudonym to likewise support her family.)
I wish that the ending wasn't so abrupt, though, because I wanted to see how Wynn and Pippa planned to go forward with their political activism despite the roadblocks encountered in the last third of the book.
