very enjoyable

I found this a very pleasant little read, easy to finish in an afternoon and written well enough that I found myself quite touched by the emotions between the main characters. Roly is a delight, also.a very well written regency and with the touch of humor that ms. Mack inserts so subtly into her books.
Scent or Scandel?

Twins always lead to twin trouble... and the twins in the Gold Scent bottle are no exception. A young man reaches his majority and gambles away money he does not posses, to make good his debt he gives a handsome army officer his sister's prized scent bottle... The determined young lady breaks into the gentleman's home and tries to get her bottle back, instead she falls headlong into a thickening plot of deceit and intrigue. The gentleman has the young girl pretend to be his fiancee at a house party given by his step-mother (AKA his former fiancee!) What ensues is a sweet and somewhat... implausible (but fun!) tumble deeper into lies and of course, love.
Implausible beginning, but better later on

This book is well-written and has characters who engage the reader's attention. The main characters take awhile to warm up, which is unusual for a Dorothy Mack book.Another departure from the usual Dorothy Mack novel is that the hero has flaws which he must struggle to overcome.In reference to the other reviewer's plaint about concern over reputation, the heroine is specifically depicted as having no knowledge of the ton and its rule. Plus, she has no reputation to lose, since her father is so adamantly against her taking a place in society. The hero is in an emotional state where the state of his reputation matters not at all.Once the characters are embarked on their "mission", the book gets better. I felt that the main weakness of the book is how the minor characters are developed and then abandoned.
