This was a story of sorts.Historic, it had a histrionic element to it in the mother of the protagonist.Very revolutionary in that a lady would shirk the title to go for a coffee house. Or be accepted by the high society.Of course the circumstances around which the story was woven was convincing, but I thought not enough.Revolutionary stories can either have a bang, and go all out, or have a very steady theme and depth.I liked the sweetness of the pastries!For a historic book, and a lady who has very strong principles, I didn't quite fathom how she decided to go the extra mile with Richard without tying the knot. The steamy scenes should have either been more steamy or more subdued. Same with Anna - she should have either exhibited higher strength of character, or shown her aggressive side more, to account for her lapses in judgement.In all, definitely worth a read once, but I couldn't go beyond 3 stars.
