Olivia Atwater's Half a Soul
I surely do love a Regency fantasy romance, and this was a GREAT example of why! Our heroine had half her soul stolen by a faerie when she was a child, and now lives a somewhat unusual and emotionless life. But she’s off to London with her cousin, because her aunt is ready for some matchmaking! Lots of great meddling mamas and clever governesses here, but the book also addresses the social ills of the time (and it’s not entirely as fluffy as I make it sound; the aunt is a right old harridan to our poor heroine). Great slow building romance and side characters, and Atwater ties it up with a neat bow. A-.
