I will start off by saying this could have used some editing, and I did get a little tired of the `they are about to have sex` scenes.  That was replayed too often in my opinion.  And yes, the identity of the villain in the story was obvious-- but I really didn't care about that -- this isn't a mystery novel. And I had all ready figured out the secret regarding the heroine`s American correspondent.  Don't really care about that either.I did really like the main characters a lot!  She was an intelligent woman, not beautiful, but nice enough looking.  She was at an age where she was going to be considered a spinster.The hero is a widower.  His marriage was a nightmare, and his wife had died in a fire.  He had tried to save her but failed, and his body was left badly scarred.  He is making an effort to return to society when he first meets the heroine.She admires him greatly and thinks of him as a hero.  His offer of marriage comes as quite a surprise but she accepts.The story centers around the couple discovering their feelings for each other, as well as getting passed their own insecurities.I did enjoy the story and would recommend it.
