A good read. The plot is a little more complex than some romance novels. You can't go wrong with anything by Stephanie Laurens.

I love her books. For some reason her historical romance novels actually have twists and turns in them. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a good book to sit down and read.

Although not in large print, be aware this novel was included in Rogues' Reform by Harlequin in 2000. Rogues' Reform contains three Stephanie Laurens stories (including An Unwilling Conquest) set during the English Regency. The stories feature the romances of the three Lester siblings, a sister and two brothers. The set is excellent and I would highly recommend them. They are much tamer, however, than Laurens more recent novels dealing with the Cynster family. Note: the hero in A Comfortable Wife, Lord Phillip Ruthven is introduced in Rogues' Reform.
If you like a Regency story with a little more than the general helping of spice, here it is.
