I really couldn't get into this story.  The heroine is 18 years old and the hero is 30.  Maybe it was normal for a man to marry someone so much younger in the Regency period, but I couldn't figure out what he saw in this silly child other than her being beautiful.The idea seemed to be she was high spirited, but I found her to be childish in her expectations and actions.  She didn't want to marry a titled gentleman because it would interfere with her desire to paint.  Social obligations would get in the way.  But how did she think marriage to a mere Mister would be any different?  The reasoning escaped me.The constant silly arguments dragged on, as did descriptions.  I didn't find much depth to either of the main characters, and the secondary characters weren't interesting either.
