Review: On an excitement scale from 1 - 10, this rates a jaw cracking yawn.

It was also one of the least romantic romances I've ever read.This is not one of her better books IMO. It seemed quite stagnant to me. Although the story did manage to get from the start to the end, it was all very flat, no twists or turns, no heroes and the closest  you get to a villain is his manipulative father.He's the eldest son of an Earl. His father claims to be dying and pressures him into marrying a daughter of his best friend before he dies.She thinks she is too mousy and timid for a model of perfection such as he, to be worthy of marrying him. Of course all of society whispers their agreement with her assessment.He is still madly in love with a woman who jilted him 9 months earlier, and moans and whines about his love for her throughout 99% of the book. Lamenting her lack in comparison the perfection that was his lost love.She's as dull as a dish cloth, and only shows a drop of spark a couple of times throughout the whole book.All in all, I'm not going to complain too much, it was only 99 cents on kindle, but it really isn't one I'd bother to read again.
