I'm not sure that I'll continue with this series as I was truly annoyed by the H in this book. I think that in a romance I'm looking for a knight in shining armour and this H fell short a lot.***Spoilers***As a lot of the other reviewers have already stated, the h comes to London to find her brother, who is a nobleman. There are reasons for her birth being kept a secret and her brother refuses to believe her story because her proof was stolen on the first day she arrives in London. The H comes to the h's rescue when she is attacked and takes her to safety. The H is attracted to the h from the beginning but because he is the younger brother of a nobleman, he believes her to be beneath him in class. The h decides that he must love her for herself and doesn't tell him of her true nobility. At first quite early on the H offers for the h to become his mistress (I truly loathe this approach in historicals) and then later wants her to be his wife. They have a number of misunderstandings along the way. Why I couldn't cope with the H is because he takes the word of the awful brother of the h (who is also his nemesis) over the word of the h. He then breaks their engagement and runs off to lick his wounds without speaking to the h (he broke up with her in writing). What an ass! Then the h charges off after him and they then spend a week snowed in at an inn and consummate their relationship. This after the H has shown no faith in her at all and was quick to break up with her. I guess they kind of deserve each other!
