Review: Period inaccuracies and unfortunate pace
Rating: 1 out of 5

I really wanted to like this book. I found the heroine and the story engaging. I accepted that the story was a bit of a confection.  Unfortunately, the period inaccuracy and pace of the story overwhelmed the positive attributes of the book. In the early 1800s, aristocrats hired people in trade (lawyers; doctors; men of business). Aristocrats did not themselves become tradesmen. Yet the hero was an earl who was also an attorney. There were other details that bothered me, but the earl/attorney was the most glaring. Then I found tiresome the repetitive description of the earl's angst over pursuing the heroine, who was the younger sister of his best friend. The editing was so poor as to be non-existent. I was very disappointed.
