I really liked how the main character evolves in this story.  If you read a lot of Regency Romance, then you know all about the "typical" society miss who is groomed to become a titled lady and fulfill her duties in that role.  It's like our more recent Stepford Wives.  But what are these society misses really like?  Who would they become if they didn't have the pressure of competing for titles and fulfilling duties? Victoria is able to discover that for herself when placed in multiple situations outside of her comfort zone.Connor, The Earl of Lynwood, is initially gruff and borderline mean. But he comes to appreciate Victoria and stands up for her and treats her with respect.  I would have liked to have seen their relationship fleshed out a little more, but a lot of Victoria's character growth was a direct result of her observing and imitating Connor's compassion and behavior towards his tenants and employees, so we can easily infer that she admires him greatly.  Overall I found the story to be enjoyable.
