I liked the couple in this story, but there was little in the way of surprise.The heroine had been in love with the hero for a long time, and had given him her virginity the night before he left to go to sea.  He had been born on the wrong side of the blanket, and although his father had paid for by education, he wanted to establish himself in order to be worthy of the heroine.Her parents had never paid much attention to her and her relationship with her brother was good but not all that close.  She had her seasons in London but never accepted an offer.  But in the three years the hero was gone she never received a letter from him.  And yet she waited for him.When he returns he immediately asks her to marry him but she refuses.  She doesn't really want to refuse but she has a bit of pride.  He wagers she will accept him before Christmas -- three days.They resume the physical relationship they had before he left.  The sex is fairly graphic -- just FYI for those who don't care to read such scenes.So -- she means to accept his proposal but tells him no.  The reader is already onto the letters she never received from him.It was a nice story with no surprises.
