This book was a serious disappointment. The delightful romance promised by the back cover cannot carry the rest of the dragging plot through. The biggest disappointment was the characters: the hero is thoroughly unlikeable and almost out of the regency mindset (what kind of "gentleman" would attempt to seduce a virginal lady?). The attempted interaction of the town people falls flat on its face, too. The few flashes of wittiness cannot make up for the wholly uninspiring content of the story.

By the middle of the book, I just wanted it to be done. But I was on vacation with nothing else to read, so I finished it off. The ending makes up, perhaps, the rest of the book. But, in a regency, the ending is always good, so this is nothing unusual.
