"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"!"

" A little hard to get into at the start...so far not liking it. "
— Chris, 1/14/2014 -
" Very hard to follow with all the names in the book. felt like it was very slow moving. I was so caught up in trying to remember how the characters were related that It was hard to follow. "

" 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? "
— Ellen, 12/17/2013 -
