Light, frothy YA historical romance that tries to be like Jane Austen but lacks her depth.

Althea Crawley needs to marry a rich man to ensure her family's castle and legacy remains secure. While it is refereshing to see a charachter who is self-aware and a bit self-deprecating (consigned to her lot in life) I never truly found a reason to really like her or root for her. The main love interests are not really fleshed out and what is a lame attempt to pull off a relationship akin to Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth falls flat. Of course everything ties up with a perfect ending. Not for me.
