This book was good almost in spite of itself. The writing is a little loose in my opinion, I believe it could have used a more careful editor. But I am not a grammar Nazi so I try not to let those types of errors detract from the overall story. Ms Bolen is a good story-teller. Her hero was well-developed, I liked him a lot and I could have done with more of him. Her heroine needed a little work, mostly involving dialogue. I did not get the feeling her character was as solid as Harry's, she kept making contrary statements. The secondary characters were pale imitations of the main pair, the author could have done a little more to give them personalities of their own. The sub love story was sweet, but I thought it was a bit of a disservice to send them rollicking after the main pair only to end up just bringing them back to London. They were more of a plot device than a separate but intertwined storyline. It wasn't a bad book, it just needed a little polishing. Recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.
