I feel it's quite cheeky of me to post a low review on one of this author's books but I really disliked the story. The h, as many of the other reviewers have pointed out is a silly, plain, stammering and rash character of 17 years. The H is an Earl and man of the world at 35 years and I have utterly no idea why he agreed to marry her instead of her sister. I would have walked away from the mess. The h does nothing to redeem herself throughout the story and goes from one scrape to the next. It takes way too much of a leap of imagination to understand the H falling in love with her. On top of that the H has a mistress that he is still involved with for a good part of the book and I always hate that. My advice is to skip this one.
