I enjoyed reading the romance between Justin and Chrissy. I loved how they had known each other when they were younger and that Clarissa felt close enough to approach Justin for help. I liked Clarissa despite the fact that she kept on clinging to someone else's idea of a perfect husband. It was a pity she just couldn't see how much Justin cared for her. I loved Justin in that he was quite a gentleman, despite all the temptation he was able to rein in his urges because he cared a lot for Clarissa. I thought the story quite romantic though I wish the ending wasn't quite rushed. It would have been nice if Clarissa actually told Justin that his birth didn't matter at all as he was more noble than the other titled gentlemen. It would've been nice to find out the circumstances as to why Justin ended up in London with Eloise Rodale while his biological mother went back to France. Frankly, having the mystery about his birth come into focus towards the end of the book irked me as it felt like a filler as another point of conflict. To me it only highlighted how Clarissa was never quite accepting of Justin being a bastard. I felt that after knowing Justin she should've let go of her misconceptions and see Justin for the wonderful man he is.
