I was stuck re-reading some Regency novels at a relative's house - ones I had loaned them and had already read before. I picked up The Lady in Gray and remembered it as one I enjoyed before. As I write my review, I am surprised by the other reviews. I found the characters interesting and the plot different than most other Regency novels. The mystery surrounding the former Lady Longueville's death and her rather risque behavior was very unusual. There are few books that show what happens to a woman after her fall from grace. Sylvia was sent to a loving relative's home and seemed to be well treated - I am sure that was NOT the outcome for most disgraced girls. The flashbacks from the Earl's point of view about his marriage to Angelica added very positively to the storyline. He did seem to change his tune very quickly from wanting Sylvia to be his mistress to wanting her as his wife. I am not sure the story showed the emotional connection to have pulled that off as quickly as it did. But this book held my attention and I was happy to have spent an afternoon reading it again.
