Review: Intriguing concept, but poor editing detracts from story
Rating: 3 out of 5

His Grace is not the only one left with regrets regarding this story.  The storyline involving a bride left basically at the altar and wondering what went wrong is intriguing.  I felt compelled to read the story to find out what indeed did go wrong.  This is not a happy, light-hearted novel, instead it deals with the broken relationship between two people who have let misunderstandings and secrets keep them apart.As other readers have mentioned, the book suffers from a lack of editing.  For example, the word "along" is used instead of "alone" and "too" instead of "to".  There are extra words in some sentences, a lack of punctuation ("ones" instead of "one's"), and a second paragraph of explanation when one would suffice.  This seems typical of many Amazon Kindle novels, and I wish that before Amazon made novels available for purchase, they would have two readers with a good command of the English language read each novel- that way if one missed an error, the other would catch it.  Reading through all of these grammatical errors and typos gets tiring.As a story, I really liked it.  It was a pleasant escape from the typical Regency Period novel in which the H/h meet, run into some difficulties, but resolve all of their problems by the end of the novel and enjoy a happy ending to their story.  This novel, however, spent a great deal of time getting to the point of resolution- the majority of the novel is spent trying to get the H/h together to have that much-needed conversation.  Too much time, really.  I kept waiting for scenes involving characters talking with one another, even if they weren't the H/h.  Instead, we often got more explanation about how the characters were feeling via subtext.I would still recommend this novel, however, I really hope that it can be gone over with a fine-tooth comb regarding the editing.  Fine read as is, could be a great one!
