This appears to be a formula novel, part of a series. In a short space it sets up the story at hand and lays out stories to come. The characters seem a little brittle. There are a bevy of desperate women intent on the husband hunt, most of them scheming, unflattering portraits of womanhood.The men are much more admirable, with one or two exceptions. They're loyal and quick thinking and of course good looking and well titled. The hero is somewhat stuffy, hamstrung by his position as a friend of the family. The coming together of the hero and heroine is hampered by their efforts to be self sacrificing.In short, it's a fairly predictable plot. It might be interesting to see how the sequels go. But it's possible I've read one of those sequels already. Or one like it, perhaps.
