The negative:  The book drags at times, there are long passages that describe mundane events.  For most of the book the hero is a bastard who doesn't deserve to be repeatedly forgiven as he is both verbally and physically abusive.The positive:  the author does a good job of connecting the heroine's naiveté with her background (raised by grandfather, isolated) and the hero's mistrust of women with what he believe is his  mother's abandonment of him and his brother.  The dowager duchess is a likable character as are the duke's brother and best friend.The ending is satisfying and even though I skimmed a few places I'm glad I stuck with it.  I would purchase from this author again.
