Really cute read.  It was well written, but it did have a few errors.  (Nothing to make you shy away from the book.).I really liked the heroine.  She was stubborn, so I found myself annoyed with her a time or two.  But she was a strong heroine, and I liked that.  I wish she had opened up more to the hero.I'm on the fence about the hero.  He was supposed to be a rake, but to me he seemed really immature.  I wish he had a sharper tongue.  I think he would have been perfect with a bit of attitude.  Being a gambling womanizer can be sexy.  Just look at The Wallflower series.  Those heroes were awesome.  I think that it what the author was going for here, but his sweet temperament made him appear more like a kid.As much as I did like the book, I felt something was missing.  It just didn't seem to have a real driving force behind it.  Nothing that made me want to stay awake to finish it.  However, I am glad I read it.I read a few reviews about the sex in this story, and they talked about how no woman of that time would do that...  I totally disagree.  (Not saying anyone's opinion is wrong, just expressing mine:)  they did have pre marital sex, but it was only discussed.  It happened before the book took place.  In most historical romances, pre marital sex is a big no no!  For some reason, authors seem to think no one had sex outside of marriage.  However there are always tons of illigitiment children in the books.  Not sure how you get one with out the other?
