I chose this book from the free download section, and being free I was impressed by the quality and the full length of the story. This is the kind of book that normally would sell for around $8-12.It starts and ends with a lot of melodrama and our heroine's suffering will just go on and on. She is likable nevertheless, strong, smart  and opinionated despite her circumstances, except when it comes to submit to the man she loves. She has a lot in common with the hero of this story, both having been fiscally abused in their youth. Both not exactly honorable. And this is something refreshing, the duplicity of the main characters, that makes them more complex and human.Also the clash between and England educated girl and the more loose social boundaries in "the colonies" is interesting to me. The other refreshing aspect is that both characters are not even remotely part of the nobility, which is uncommon for this genre.Finally, the premise of being an "impostor" does not fail to give a lot of suspenseful situations, some that are resolved in unpredictable ways.
