The basic storyline was ok, but the story itself just seemed to plod along.I found the h/h characters to be emotionless. Even one of the last scenes, a duel, which should have been fraught with tension & emotion, was bland. I yawned all the way through the book, & then wanted to kick myself for wasting time reading it.

It just goes to show how differently people react to a book. I gave this one 5 stars (and the previous book in the series "A Lady Awakened" 4.5). I liked the 'unconventional' hero and heroine, and their out-of-the-ordinary 'Happy Ever After'. The writing was excellent, and the story was a little dark (the way I like 'em), sensual, with a lot of insight into the H/H inner lives & thoughts. If you like Anna Campbell, Elizabeth Essex, Judith James, or Meredith Moran, I think you'll like Cecilia Grant, one of my new favorite Historical Romance writers. If Kiernan Kramer, Elizabeth Boyle, or Lynsay Sands are your favs, probably not as much. (And not to disparage those 3, I read them, too).
