"Better than her last books as it was the Georgian Era. However, heroine was a little too prudish and annoying. Her sister seemed a little too free for the era and knowledgeable of certain things for a 17 year old. The mother was a little dizzy and distracted not to notice the "scandal"!"

    " This book was disappointing. Once I see a typo, I am disappointed that I spent so much money on a book. It was the last sentence of a chapter ...they had He instead of She and of course that didn't make sense...where were the proofreaders or copy editors on this book? "
