I now understand the complete diversity of reviews, which normally make me suspicious. Until my review there were only 5 and 1 star reviews and usually I'd think that all the 5 stars are because of friends/family of the author. However depending on what part of the story you liked/disliked more, you could see the book in either a very positive or negative light. I've gone for the middle road because I truly enjoyed the book until it all went to pieces around the halfway mark or more. If you're forewarned then perhaps you'll enjoy the book.+++Spoilers+++The h is beautiful and damaged because of a kidnapping in the previous book (which I didn't read). The H is a Scottish Earl in need of a wife because his nephew needs a mother figure etc. The H and h meet and there is instant attraction. One thing leads to another and they end up eloping - a very complicated story leads up to this but it worked for me. The h is keeping secrets about her inability to sleep because of nightmares. When she finally has a full blown nightmare, the H immediately leaps to the conclusion that she is mad and abandons her. I truly hated the H at that point and felt that eventually the h was too quick to forgive him for his betrayal and abandonment.The other thing that really irked me was the fact that we are lead to believe and read that the h is a virgin, which is important in this story. When they marry and the H takes her virginity we are told all of this. Later her virginity is called into question which I found confusing and a bit stupid. If you worry about the details this will annoy you too. Of course the H doesn't defend her when this question comes up either.I'm not sure I'd read another book by this author
