Its refreshing to read about a hero who isnt a rake or rogue.There are way too few fops and dandies about. Who doesnt love a man who dresses fashionably and isnt afraid to flaunt it? ;)

I really liked the hero´s sense of humor and his observations of things around him (and the heroine of course) He wasnt just a dandy/fop because of some vague reasons. It was a kind of rebellion for him (against his all too proper parents) at first I think,but it had become part of his personality in time. He had embraced that part of his personality fully.

As for the heroine I cant say I liked her very much with her "oh my god im so plain and my sister is so beautiful" internal monologues and her treating the hero badly because he offends her just by being himself. I could have understand if he had treated her badly but the animosity was all on her part and for the silly reason of him making her feel shabby next to him. :/

I would have bought her resentment and bitterness if she had been a bit older but to me it come across more as teenage sulking.Wich is perfectly natural since she was teenager (18) But with all the reading and general bluestocking behavior she prided herself on having I would have expected her to be a little less smallminded.

In most romances the heroes doesnt deserve their heroines and has to work to win their love.However in this book it was the opposite.I wasnt so sure the heroine deserved the hero!


In the end if I have to think back about this book it felt like it was made up out of bits and pieces,it starts out as a compromised situation plot,then they marry and goes to London for a bit and you think "oh its going to be a making the marriage work plot"but no then they have to go to the hero's inherited house and it turns into a gothic story.

I guessed the cause for the spooky going ons at once, it was of course smugglers. Why is it mostly always smugglers really? Get creative authors,please.

In conclusion I think this is a good book to pass a few hours with,but sadly not keeper. ( )

I thought the author handled Jane's insecurities realistically and with sensitivity.

Cute story. Likeable hero. There wasn't much to like about the prickly heroine initially, but the author pulled through and caused me to warm up to her. It was a slow building romance with a mystery. My only complaints were that the book started out with a favorite premise of mine: the hero, after a night of drunkenness, finds himself in bed with the heroine and I felt a little cheated that there was no awareness of each other at all. The hero was supposedly a grand rake, but all of that occurred off the page, before he marries the heroine. The epilogue at the end was really just a short chapter, and I would have liked for the couple to be back among friends or family to see the transformation of the heroine that had occurred. ( )

Aaaaah !
Tiré du sommeil par ce cri strident, que suivit aussitôt le bruit d'une porte violemment claquée, Deverell Fairfax, Vicomte de Raleigh, remua péniblement sur l’oreiller sa tête endolorie.
