This book is well-written, has good editing and flow, and a good plot. It's always nice to read a book that doesn't  insult you with preposterous plot developments. That there was a murder to solve was a nice twist in this romance. To the person who was surprised reading the phrase "even although", I had a similar response then realized we now say "even though", which is pretty much the same. I liked that most characters were portrayed as human and imperfect while still being sympathetic (except for Pearl and Reginald, who were not at all sympathetic and didn't deserve to be). There wasn't too much emphasis on the characters' physical attrbutes, which was refreshing, and there were some nice "intimacy" scenes that were neither overdone nor prudish.  I liked this book very much.
