The main characters were unlikable. The heroes were only slightly better than the villain. There was absolutely no sense of history. The language and manners were almost completely modern.There was a element of mystery. What broke up the main characters engagement? How did the older brother die? Who was responsible and who fathered the baby? It took far, far, far too long for any of those questions to be answered. By the time you knew the answers, it was hard to care about them.This is a perfect example of BAD historical fiction. The 10 year gap between the broken engagement and the reconciliation is just not believable for that time period. Then the author has a scene where the hero and heroine hear a strange noise downstairs in the daytime. The hero says it must be a raccoon breaking in. He claims that is has happened before. Racoons are not native to England. They are native to North America and are only active at night, sometimes very early morning.
