Review: Part of this was very good

I liked the way each chapter started with a short letter from the h to the H. The letters, while only a couple of sentences each, showed the h's fun personality and made me feel very engaged with the story. The plot had enough to keep me interested and moved along at a nice pace. There were some interesting secondary characters. The detractors of the book included some continuity issues (in one instance, the h rises from a sitting position after the H had already pulled her to a standing position in the page prior); there was word misuse (how did so and so "fair" rather then "fare"); words were sometimes missing in sentences; the punctuation was awful; and there was some unusual language in the dialogue. No Regency-era duke would address his heir as "son" -- as in, "I'm sorry, Son." He might use his son's given name, in a very informal or intimate conversation. Oddly, we never do learn the H's given name. Net, net: this book could've been quite good but, as is, was only okay.
