I would give it 5 stars if it had a better epilogue!I read a few of the other reviews, and honestly they baffled me.The good: Very good characters, very different plot, well thought out, well executed.  The story unfolded in a very different way than most romances, the first half of the book is spent on building her story as a child. We really get to know her. I love the secondary characters as well. Harry, bess and worthington are great. I loved seeing derek come to terms with them.  The book had several mysteries/twists and turns that kept the book going and surprised me. Also well edited.The bad: not a good epilogue. I wish there was a bit more detail. Also a few eye rolling incidents that could have been left out. The plot relied on constant misunderstandings. It was a bit heavy on that.Overall: This was a very good book. I loved it. I did not find it pornographic at all. The sex scenes are later in the book,and no more than what is in mainstream historical romances. So many are boardering on smut porn, or erotica, and this was not like that. This was an actual story with real substance and value.I'm kind if a prude about this. I hate how amazon puts so much trashy erotica in the romance category. Something needs to be done about it, but this book is not an example of the problem.I have never read anything else by this author, and I am not a friend of this author. I have left a ton of reviews on books, some good, some bad. I'm not easy to please. I like julia quinn, eloisa james and judith mcnaught, and those are the standards I judge books by.That being said,.....When are the other 2 books coming out?!!!!!!!!!!
