4 stars- slightly spoilerishI have been looking  forward to Liam and Rosalind's story since the first book and other than two things, this book would have been perfect.First thing - Liam's affair with Lady Elling, not a spoiler since is happened in the last book, but honestly it broke my heart - he has a little heating petting with Rosalind and then his "honor" stops him from going any further. He knows he loves her but can't have her - he basically gives up. I mean after all the scandals involving his siblings, breaking a betrothal is barely noteworthy, yet he doesn't even try to find a way to be with Rosalind and after a year of celibacy hooks up with Lady Elling, a woman by his own admission is not trustworthy.  I think I could have forgiven him if he only slept with her once - but he slept with her twice before realizing that you can't replace the one you love with someone else.  And if all this wasn't enough, when Rosalind mentions the affair Liam says it was a mistake and should have never happened, but I was heartbroken over losing you. WHAT?  He was so heartbroken that he did absolutely nothing to get her and then sleeps with a woman he doesn't even trust and then has the nerve to make it seem like it was Rosalind's fault ?  Not coolSecond thing - Liam's secret - can you say fifty shades of overdone?  Come on, with all the kinky fetishes out there this is what we get, a Christian Gray wannabe?  Disappointing.Ok, I know it sounds like I didn't like the book - but I did like it and these two things in the grand scheme if things were minor and more personal pet peeves to me than actual flaws in the book.The writing was flawless and the story moved along quite quickly after Liam found Rosalind  The secondary characters were wonderful as was appearances of the other Kellingtons and BSR Stapleton (who's book is next YAY!)I highly recommend this series and I am anxiously awaiting Stapleton's story !!
