My words are deserting me today--I think they're sick of the way I've been abusing them here at work, and are on strike as a result--but it reads like one of those people writing"Regency" romances, who don't know what they're writing about, period-wise, and also aren't able to do more than funny-hat characters.

Heyer has a great range of secondary characters, though, and I often thin she found a good many of them more itneresting than some of her leads.
