Review: Loved it until the ending

Really, this was a pretty good romance. I loved that, in this romance, the two have a feeling of love at first sight and I also loved the descriptions of when they see one another. I thought most of the characters were nicely developed. I loved Bess's character, though I didn't like that she felt (at least to me) the same throughout the book. Like, she didn't develop (even her emotions for the earl) overly much, though she had doubts.I enjoyed the twists in the book, except for the ending. I don't mind the "happily ever after" that all romances have, but I didn't like the ending the villains had gotten. Now, I'm not going to give anything away, but I thought, with everything they did, they kinda got off pretty lightly. However, in the same sense, it still gives the book a bit more of a "lighthearted" feeling.This book does contain sex (for those who mind it), though it's very light in the way it's not overflowing the book. Most of it, though, is innuendo. There were some odd phrasing that threw me (and, please, it may be me because I've only just started getting into reading more historical romance), like "What is to do" or "They then repaired to the library". I didn't see anything above the norm, small grammar mistakes--a plus!Overall, I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance.
