I'm not sure where to start there are so many glaring flaws, the language is stilted, the conversations inane, the syntax too modern for the period.  The author tells us that Brianna is deep, intelligent and artistic when unfortunately she is shallow, selfish and self absorbed to the point of absurdity and outside of a few fleeting references to her art we are offered no proof that this foolish girl has any talent at all, not to mention that no young woman of her station would be so woefully ignorant of her surroundings that she would hunt down a man outside a Gentleman's Club nor would a man of Richards age think that he could go to a ball and walk out having chosen a wife.Unfortunately the pain does not stop with the main characters, the male sub characters might have been mildly interesting if they had been given any real substance and with the exception of Elizabeth ( Richards younger sister) the female sub characters are vapid and grasping leaving the reader with the impression that titles and money are the only things they are capable of being concerned with.Ms Langston needs to go back and read the classics of Regency Romance, study some history and geography (at least enough to know that Gretna Green was many days travel from London) so she will understand that a carriage and a wagon are completely different conveyances and are not interchangeable and that after subjecting the reader to a wide variety of literary tortures said reader should not have to check the table of contents to see when the torture ends. This book was much too long for the story it told.Perhaps future efforts will meet with greater success.
