I found this book enjoyable and for the most part well written - however, there were some major editing issues that really should have been addressed before this book was published.I love this genre - historical & medieval romance is all I read - and I feel that I am a very generous reader, I do not nitpick over historical accuracy or even grammatical errors. But there are two things I cannot abide and both of those things happen in this book.1 - incorrect formal address of the characters - if you are going to write about the daughter of a duke, I expect you to know the proper form of address - Lady Lillian St. James would be referred to  and addressed as Lady Lillian NOT Lady St. James. Her friend Olivia was referred to in this book as both Miss Brentton and Lady Brentton - having no idea what title her father has I don't know if she is Miss Brentton or should be Lady Olivia, but I do know she would never be Lady Brentton and nether is her brother Lord Brentton. Her other friend Lydia was also referred to as Miss Covvington and then later as Lady Lydia - which is it??2 a Modern verbiage in a regency setting - in my mind this this the lesser of two evils and I can usually ignore it, but when combine with my first peeve - it becomes glaringly oblivious and takes away from my reading enjoyment.If I could get past these two issues, I would have most likely given this book a 4.5 star rating. For the most part it is well written, the characters are likable, the love scenes are steamy  and the plot was ok. I felt that a lot of backstory information was missing, which made it hard for the reader to fully understand the characters.Would I read this book again? No. Would I read the next book in the series? Maybe leaning towards probably  Would I recommend this book to my friends? Probably not - but I would tell them why and let them decide for themselves
