I really liked this one, especially when compared to a lot of what I have been reading lately. The obstacles that the heroine faced were very real and not just manufactured in her head (as seems to be the case is SO MANY regency romances). My only complaint would be that the hero did not get very much character development. We are led to believe that his first wife was terrible and gave him an aversion to trusting women, but we're given virtually no details, and as such really can't put ourselves in his frame of mind. It makes him a little vague, and we have to accept who is his just on being told rather than 'seeing' it for ourselves.
