THIS IS A FUN, LIGHT-HEARTED LOVE STORY, FULL OF TID BITS ABOUT SOCIETY AND THE TON AND THEIR SILLY RULES.THE MAIN REASON THAT I ENJOYED THIS BOOK, HOWEVER, WAS BECAUSE THE HERO AND HEROINE FELL IN-LOVE AROUND THE SAME TIME, AND HE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH COMMITMENT.TWO BIG NEGATIVES FOR ME WERE:  THAT THE VILLIANESS WAS FAR MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE HEROINE.  THE HEROINE WAS USUALLY DESCRIBED AS "LOVELY", WHILE THE VILLIANESS WAS " A STUNNING BEAUTY WITH THE FACE OF A GODDESS".  ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE HEROINE WAS DEFINITELY ATTRACTIVE, YOU GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THE HERO WAS BY FAR THE BETTER LOOKING CONCERNING THIS PARTICULAR COUPLE.  THESE TWO STORY LINES I DO NOT LIKE AT ALL.  STILL ALL IN ALL I LIKED THE BOOK.HOWEVER I AM NOT BUYING THE SEQUEL, BY ITS BOOK DESCRIPTION I CAN TELL, ONCE AGAIN A ROMANCE NOVEL IS GOING TO HAVE A THEME (THAT AT LEAST TO ME) IS NOT ROMANTIC AT ALL.  MAINLY THAT THE HEROINE IS IN LOVE AND TRYING TO WIN THE LOVE OF HER HEART'S DESIRE. THAT TYPE OF STORY HAS NO APPEAL FOR ME.
