There are so many aspects of this book that are great and I really loved (e.g. at times I definitely felt an emotional connection to the characters which is an indication of brilliant writing) but there are just as many aspects of this book that I hated (e.g. why do adults who claim to be intelligent rely solely on what others tell them without opening their darn mouths and investigating the facts for themselves). Also, there was a little too much telling in this book - which was a shame, because the author would "show" and follow it up with "tell"...almost as if the reader wasn't smart enough to figure out what the "showing" meant. It was a little offensive. I also thought the story dragged on a little too long. The heroine is so sweet and I loved her. The hero could be a cad but he had redeeming qualities too. In the end it's worth the read if you are in the mood for a historical romance and have time to kill.
