I'm a hardcore Anglophile, so it would seem to be a fit, if I can think of a story and keep it within the bounds of what Regency fans want and expect. Then again, it could be a blast to try doing a darker Regency. Is there such a thing? Maybe I should invent it. Heh.

I read some reviews of some books where people who are really in the know will blast the author for not having the 'facts' right. I get it, but to me, if the story is good, the rest can be tolerated.
