Since I don't read romance, can't really tell how this story compares to others, but I enjoyed it and kept turning the digital pages to see what would happen.What I liked is that the story was set in 1815, in a very different time, when women's only job was to get married and acquire the best financial position possible. The story was very straight forward, the main characters Priscilla and Lord Stratton did not end up in over-dramatized situations where their love could never be....it was and more than once!We do have some bodice-ripping scenes, which always makes me wonder, was it really that easy with all the clothing women wore back then? I guess that when there is a will, there is a way!The story is very well written, with great dialogue and scenes depicting life from aristocratic British society. I look forward in reading the next book in the series: The Devil's Own Luck
