Review: Loved it
Rating: 5 out of 5

I would rate this book 4.5 stars - rounded up to 5.Christian and Serena are wonderful characters. They both have serious pain in their past - both mental and physical.  But they are both strong and very loving, caring people who would do whatever it takes to protect those they love from pain.Add in the libertine scholars, a sweet orphaned girl, truly nasty villains, a seemly impossible to achieve happy ending and some really hot love scenes and you have a book that is very hard to put down.The only two reasons I did not give this a 5 star review were 1- improper formal address of the characters, this is a personal pet peeve of mine - if you are going to write historical romance you should understand the titles and address your characters correctly and 2 - Got it, the libertine scholars are rakes and have more women than they could possibly  need or want - it got a bit redundant.Those two minor issues aside, this was a great book and well worth the time spent reading it! I look forward to reading the books about Christian's friends and would happily recommend this book!
