I've read 8 books from this author, enough to get acquainted with her writing style. In all cases except one, I was always more interested in the secondary characters than in the main couple. This book is no exception. As somebody already pointed out, the Duke and Duchess of Beaumont are a lot more interesting than all the other characters in this book put together. I hope they get their own book (probably the last in the series). They would be the only reason why I will read the rest of the books in this series.
This book's heroine is one of the silliest I've ever encountered. I don't know why in the world the hero would fall for her. Not that I liked him much anyway. He just seems sexually obsessed with her, and perhaps wanted a mother for his alleged bastard son. The boy is a pretty cute character. I actually felt sorry that he's now stuck with such immature parents.
