This book moves quickly.  Ever read those novels where a misunderstanding is written about and you just KNOW that it's going to last forever and claim the whole book's plot?  That's why I literally sighed when there was a misunderstanding in this book as well.  However, I was so surprised that not only was the misunderstanding (and any others that pop up in the book) rectified in a chapter or two, but there were more character meetings/dialogues/actions that had me reading straight through to the very end.  So clearly, a long and drawn out misunderstanding does not a good book make! I was excited to start every chapter, and although I may not have loved the heroine or her decision-making (she gets called out on this by the hero constantly) I really enjoyed each main and secondary character.I agree, that this being the only novel I've read of the series, the other characters can really bog you down.  Especially when everyone of the ton has at least two names.  Some loose ends weren't tied up as neatly as an avid "happily ever after" reader would like, but it's still satisfying. And another reviewer mentioned the paragraphing problem.  That was so blatant--but you get used to it.  I also noticed that sometimes someone was speaking aloud and there were no quotes.  This is just a warning for those that put down books due to grammar.  Beware. If that's not you, then hurray!  You have found one of the few good historical romance novels that are free on the Kindle!
