A light read with no angst. Issues of the victorian-times pertaining to working conditions of the lower classes, prostitution and a feudal mindset are often brought into the story to create an effective backdrop in my opinion. The heroine is miraculously saved from her imminent fate of becoming a prostitute by a chance meeting with the Hero and here begins a journey of their love story. I found the Hero quite bland and more the beta type, quite often breaking his promises in trying to keep his distance from the heroine and even his reason for trying to dismiss his marriage was really I laughed. The s3x scenes aren't graphic but im glad the mcs have physical relations and the marriage doesn't remain unconsumated . Nice ending and I recommend it as a cozy and pleasant read.
