This was supposed to be an over the top story I am guessing.  Way too much description of attire and decor.  Some of it just didn't seem to ring true to the Regency period.Our heroine does not wish to marry despite being betrothed since childhood.  She wants to go to Egypt and dig for relics. The hero really has no wish to marry either but upon meeting the lady he begins to have second thoughts.  She is not only beautiful, she is intelligent and interested in the things he has interest in.The story basically goes back and forth with their trying to ignore their mutual attraction.  And there is a kidnapping and a happy ending.I just couldn't like either one of the main characters.  She was supposed to be spirited but I found her annoying and behaving like a spoiled brat.  He was supposed to be mysterious and a good man, which he was.  But I didn't find him all that dashing or sexy.I would have given this 2.5 if possible.  It is wordy and I can't say in a good way.  There isn't much in the way of heat, just some passionate kisses and lascivious thoughts.I found it to be disappointing.
