This book improves significantly in the second half.  I was about to stop reading half way through.  Only the mystery about what happens about the boy's odd family situation kept me going.  But if her other books are like the second half of this one, they are worth reading.The secondary characters in the book are well-drawn and appealing.In the first half of the book, the hero is vulgar.  I didn't know what makes the heroine tick.  Also, she didn't like to work and didn't like a dog.  There was zero chemistry between the hero and the heroine.Also, as has been noted, errors in grammar and spelling, awkward sentences, and botched paragraphing.Having now read the other reviews, I can't believe two reviewers are comparing this author to the great Georgette Heyer.  Not in the same class at all.
