Review: Pretty good Regency filled with suspense

I found this to be an intriguing novel featuring a h who wants revenge in some ways, while at the same time also just wanting to be loved and accepted for who she is.  The H is not very likable, but that's rather the point.  The h wouldn't be seeking revenge if he was a nice guy, after all.  Can two people forced to marry find a happy ending?  This story line has been told before, of course, but I found myself seeking to discover what new plot the h was working on next.  Was the H really, really bad, selfish- just a plain jerk, or did he have redeeming qualities?  If you enjoy stories in which the h is too good for the H, you probably will like this one.Editing issues continue for Ms. Harper.  As in her other novels, there are grammatical errors, a lack of punctuation, and the use of the wrong word here and there.  For example, a duchess is called "My lady" twice.  The correct greeting is:  "Your Grace".  The duchess is a Lady, as a member of the Quality, but she is not referred to as "Lady" anything.  "Windowed" is used instead of "widow", you get the point.  Makes for more difficult reading than necessary, and I hope Amazon considers editing their books before publishing them.  Offer a few fans with a good grasp of the English language a chance to proofread the novels before publication in exchange for some free reads, my suggestion for what it's worth.
