This story is very intensely focused on the restrictive limits placed
on marriageable parties in Victorian England. There is fun in watching the vast differences between "Miss Prissy Brit" and the "cowboy from Texas" shift to an independent, loving relationship.
References the Victorian passion for women's archery competitions. Really, who knew?

I really liked this story. Vulnerable alpha male, alot of conflict. Lots of interesting historical detail tossed in.

An OK read. Great hero, heroine was initially interesting. Not as good at The Proposition or Beast. If I'd reviewed the book at the end of the first half, I would have given it four stars. But the second half "Part 2" just didn't work for me. The heroine became more and more unlikeable, and you couldn't help but feel sad and sorry for the hero, the way she treated him was horrible. And strangely, Judith Ivory wrote the denouement of the story to be about him needing to resolve something - rather than her (or at least both of them). I was dismayed.
Further dismaying was the number of typographical errors in the book. Distracting to see "offs" instead of "off" or "mean" instead of "men". Typos, not grammatical errors or malapropisms. Just lack of proofreading. A shame.
