I think I recall a previous reviewer not caring for the main character, Lucien, at all, and if you read that review, s/he is right to a certain extent. Lucien spends the entire book intent on seducing the heroine, with absolutely no compunction, conscience, or second thoughts. However, I liked that the alternate suitor for our heroine's hand was not a pathetic whiner, or a cad, or a golddigger or anything else that made it easy to dismiss him. He was a real person, who just happened to fall in love with someone who was in love with someone else. The book was well-written, and the characters were well-developed. I was a little put off by Lucien's self-pitying "oh, woe is me, I hear music in my head all the time, and it's torture!" attitude. I mean, you're a grown man now. Surely you can say to yourself, "I really don't care if Dad hated music."
