I enjoyed elements of this story but it fell short during the last third. The author writes well and I've enjoyed some of her other books but I didn't believe in the love story between the H and h.***Spoilers***I truly hated the fact that the author mentions how the H is tempted but doesn't act on his attraction to amongst others, his previous mistress and some formers flirts in Paris. How am I supposed to believe that this 'former' rake won't stray again in the future. The Paris incident was right towards the end of the book. We'd been told that his former debauched life in Paris was still a temptation for him and that is why he wanted to get married!! In my opinion the H was TSTL when he got involved with his mistress again so soon after his wedding. It would have been far more normal for him to tell his wife why he was meeting with her. I didn't buy this plot device.It's a pity that the book was brought down by these things because I enjoyed parts of it very much.
