The basic story sounded very good. Both the H and h were looking for spouses. The H was a bit of an ass most of the way, he had very specific ideas of what his countess should be like. For him the h didn't make the grade for various reasons. He made negative assumptions about her and although he was very attracted to her, he didn't consider her good enough.The h had a very difficult life and was responsible for looking after her siblings even though she had no money. She has an awful grandfather who agrees to give her one season to find a husband. She only agrees so that she can help her family.***Spoilers***Later in the book he propositions her and she is desperate for money because she is about to lose the house where her siblings are staying. She agrees to become his mistress for the money she needs to pay the debt on her house, the H takes advantage of her. She is a virgin and when he sleeps with her, he treats her very cruelly immediately afterwards. I honestly hated him for this and it was impossible for him to fully redeem himself in my eyes after his treatment of her up to this point.I also didn't like the fact that the h agreed to the H's proposal when she could so easily have asked her friend Drake for help. He had offered before and he knew her story. He was always so honourable unlike his friend, the H.Everything does work out in the end but not without a fair amount of drama. I just felt like the H could have acted earlier and made a much bigger effort towards the h.
