(Hey, I didnt write the rules, but I do strictly adhere to them.)

Some you might call tragic.

17.Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker

17.

The Regency eras hottest will they or wont they?

ends in a firm they wont.

Sidney was kind of terrible to Charlotte the entire time they knew each other.

16.Georgiana Lambe and Charles Lockhart

16.

Sorry to come out of the gate hot, but honestly, fuck this dude.

We dont learn where Charles slinks off to, but I sincerely hope he walks into the ocean.

15.Edward Denham and Clara Brereton

15.

Theyre both terrible people and, therefore, a perfect match.

Hes still checking out hot ladies in the end, so it couldve (shouldve!)

14.Edward Denham and Augusta Markham

14.

They wind up running off to get married but are discovered by Alexander and Charlotte.

13.Charlotte Heywood and Colonel Lennox

13.

This is his attempt to woo her?

To show up Colbourne?

To be an asshole?

Mostly that last thing.

He tries to blame Charlotte for playing games, but she is having none of it!

It is a great storm-out at least as far as polite society goes.

12.Alison Heywood and Captain Carter

12.

You figure it out!

11.Charlotte Heywood and Ralph Starling

11.

10.Tom Parker and Mary Parker

10.

I give him 18 months, and honestly, thats being generous.

9.Georgiana Lambe and Lord Harry Montrose

9.

Thankfully, both parties are in total agreement and awareness as to why they are in this sham courtship.

Nothing sneaky going on here!

Most important, however, Georgiana and Harry build a friendship.

This means that they end things amicably both recognizing that the other deserves to be truly loved.

A very happy, and very platonic, ending indeed!

8.Alison Heywood and Captain Fraser

8.

The lovebirds get hitched and head off to recite poetry and raise pigs together in Ireland.

Sounds pretty idyllic to me!

7.Lady Denham and Rowleigh Pryce

7.

Lady Ds saying,Im gonna make the happy ending that I want, babes.

6.Beatrice Hankins and Dr. Fuchs

6.

I hope they slowly whisper medical terminology in German to each other every night before bed.

5.Arthur Parker and Lord Harry Montrose

5.

4.Lady Esther Denham Babington and Lord Babington

4.

Babington doesnt care what kind of psychosexual thriller was going on at the Denham residence.

He wants to spend his life making her happy!

Esther tries to fight it, but even she knows this is very dreamy.

The situation might be super-awkward when you really think about it, but happy is happy, I guess.

3.Samuel Colbourne and Lady Susan Worcester deCleremont

3.

Oh, and lets not forget that Susandumps King George IVto be with Alexanders rascally lawyer brother.

Dumping a literal king?

Thats true love right there.

Could there be some severe consequences for both of them because of that?

Yes, probably, but we dont see them, soit doesnt matter!

2.Georgiana Lambe and Otis Molyneux

2.

Should he have been more up front about his gambling problems?

Sure, but Otis is self-aware enough to admit that.

I fell in love with your soul, and you believe it.

No one sees her like Otis does, and Georgiana knows it.

With her mother as their witness!

Thats a well-deserved happy ending if there ever was one.

1.Charlotte Heywood and Alexander Colbourne

1.

Alexander tells Charlotte his feelings for her are fathomless, and I had to lie down.
