Review: Poorly crafted, unrealistic plot, thin characterization
Rating: 1 out of 5

There is a lack of an emotional connection between the main leads. It feels clunky. The second half of the book the heroine masquerades around her country estate as a maid and no one is any wiser?Why does the heroine not confide the abuse she suffers from her father to her brother?And in the end when her brother does find out why is there no remorse or explanation for his lack of perception?The hero is chasing the maid openly for all the staff to see? The wife disguised as the maid openly flirts with him?He teaches her how to ride?  With the class difference between lord and servant how is this possible?The brother of heroine gives a the meekest reprimand to the hero for having an affair with the maid in his sisters house. The hero tells him that he cares for his sister and he is satisfied with this explanation? Why doesn't he want to put a bullet in his brother in law for cheating on his sister?There are more ridiculous points I could outline, but I don't want to waste my time.I bought this book based upon the perfect 5 star reviews. I wish other readers would leave honest reviews and not compromise their integrity.  It may help the author sell more books but does not make them a better writer.
