I enjoyed this book. I got a little bit bored in the middle because I knew they were going after the wrong guy and it irritated me. I also felt like it was dragged out a bit. But over all a good book.

2.5! For a well read person the h was quite naive and foolish tbh and also her feelings were so random.

Really... these "historical" novels should really stop thinking that being "ruined" was that you were slightly snubbed at some parties. They should rather develop a total fantasy world, like steampunk, then they can bend the rules if they will, but trying to set the novel to history while then actually doing no research into the time... I'm tired of it. Maybe this hit at the same point when I heard an interview of Courtney Milan, who said that writing contemporary romances is so much harder because you need to do the research on what cafes are where and stuff... I don't care if you make up a cafe, but I do care if you have no idea of the culture you're putting your characters in. This tells me pretty much everything I want to know of these kinds of historical romances...

I still like the way the relationships are developed in these books. I wish I could read something contemporary from this author and I might like it a lot better.
