Loved it! Couldn't put it down once I started.
Strong hero/heroine, with the hero not your typecast, ubiquitous super alpha, sex-hungry, devilishly handsome, arrogant, uber wealthy rake. The heroine is strong as well as she stands toe to toe with the hero. Granted they are good looking, but that's minor to the story. The story moves in a leisurely pace that goes very nicely with the period. There are some anachronisms, but they did not yank me out of the story. There are no balls, spies (a tired theme in my opinion), and lastly no big misunderstandings (my pet peeve!). Of course there is sex, but not the gratuitous graphic variety of late. The bed scenes are sensuous and tasteful.
Excellent supporting cast, even the villains. I like the hero's parents and his siblings, too. They're a loving, supportive group led by a cantankerous, nosy, obsessed (with securing succession) father, but understandably, not annoyingly so, once you get to know him. Each member has his own quirk, making that person engaging.
I can't wait for the next installment, featuring the brother of this book's hero.
