Review: Could have been better...

CONTAINS SPOILERS: This story would have been better if the reason for the heroes five-year absence wasn't so lame.  I realize in regency times, appearances could be just as bad as action but come on.  In trying to help her friend, the heroine was caught out on a balcony with a notorious rake and appeared to be in a compromising position (but wasn't).  For that he walks out on her for five years b/c he can't face the talk of the "ton".  Also, his thoughts state that he never stopped loving her and missed her everyday he was gone.  As I said, the story would have been better if her "act of betrayal" had been more earth shattering. Then his actions would have been justified and believable.
