Helpful Score: 9

Great debut! This is a big, fat book, so there is plenty of time for character development and for the H&H to get to know each other. I liked the way their relationship builds slowly, and there are lots of lovely leisurely erotic foreplay scenes, but no jumping into bed immediately as in some books. I enjoyed reading it slowly. Unlike most Regencies there is no attendance at social events. Most of the book takes place right in the hero's house with a small cast of characters. One unusual thing, the heroine has a big secret, but usually the author will let the readers in on it. In this case, we didn't find out until 3/4 of the way through the book. That drove me a bit crazy. There was also a misunderstanding towards the end that I found hard to believe and didn't serve any purpose except to add another 50 pages to the count. I give it 4.5 stars for that small flaw. The hero is extremely honorable and thoughtful, the opposite of a rake. I loved the other 2 brothers and can't wait to read their stories.
