I loved reading about Cecily and Douglas' love affair. I like heroines who decide to experience physical passion even while resigning themselves to spinster life and the heroes who go crazy with jealously watching from the sidelines before stepping in to help. The subplot involving the mysterious diary was lukewarm, and I would have liked for Douglas' childhood background to have been explored more in depth so that I could have gotten a better picture of why he was the man he was and the fears he carried with him. I'd like to have seen more frequent lessons in more detail, too, especially toward the end when Douglas' heart was engaged. Still, an enjoyable read at 3.5 stars.
