I didn't know there was a second in this series and it's been so long since I've read the first I only have vague memories. It's a nice companion piece. We so often see modern women coping in regency times it's great to have that turned on it's head. Parts were frustrating because I know the rules of the modern world while the character was trying to figure them out. I don't remember if in the first book memories from the body came back to the person (so hard to know which name to call them) but this device is very helpful.
