Review: Could I Give it 4.5 Stars?
Rating: 4 out of 5

Firstly, this book is not exactly a clean Regency Romance. All the intimate moments do happen after marriage, but they are rather descriptive. For those readers who might be uncomfortable with this, beware. Personally, I thought the sex scenes to be the down side of an otherwise brilliant and interesting story. The characters were sympathetic, and interesting. The plot moved along and took some interesting turns. The writing was fairly good. The sex scenes however were rather flat. They were not terribly lewd, but they were not exactly tasteful either. They felt out of place. It was a strange mix. I wish there had been more about the school, Lily' s background and family, and Finken (or whatever his name was) the gambler, he was set up so well to provide some real drama, but it just kind of fizzled at the end into HEA. Not a bad book, just needs perhaps a little more polish.
