CAUTION MILD SPOILERSI could not really get into this story or the characters. It was almost a DNF but I wanted to know what the tattoo was. Unfortunately, we don't find out until the very end. I thought this would be a fun, different read but was disappointed. I will not be continuing with the series.One thing that bothered me and really started my dislike of the book was that Phillip, the duke that groped Prudence when she was 16, was thought to be a mean rake because he disgraced her and lied that she was to blame and wanted to entrap him. That was the reason for the tattoo as revenge. When Prudence and Ainsworth speak, he tells her his brother wouldn't have accused her of entrapment, that he probably just groped her thinking she was a maid. That made it okay and he was not the bad guy any longer because he didn't lie about her. Even if he thought she was a maid, he still groped a young girl that was unwilling. He's not a good man just because he didn't know he was groping a proper lady. The fact he only groped maids doesn't make him a good guy. They even name their first born after him. That was a bit disturbing to read and didn't make me like the book after that.Read from August 16 to 17, 2013
