I think I must have read a different book to the other reviewers. I bought this book after reading the reviews and seeing that it was rated 4 1/2 stars and I was disappointed.  From the very first, the main female character came over as foolish and empty headed. How in one breath she could proclaim that she was aware of the matters of the world and still get herself caught in the most silly situations is beyond me. She displays not innocence but really just a lack of common sense throughout the book. And this is obvious since it took six or seven men contantly watching her every move to ensure she did nothing silly during her outings.  The male character Taylor is really only a tad better but definitely an improvement of the female lead.  I do agree with one of the other reviewers that this book comes over as being written by an American ...it needs a rewrite to ensure it fits into the time period in England that it purports to be set in.  Notwithstanding the above, it does have a good plot.
