This was my first book by Sabrina Jeffries. It was engaging but didn't set the world on fire. I don't know if I will look for other books by this author but am glad I gave this book a chance. It's low on angst and has some elements many enjoy - starchy hero gets unstarched and close siblings.

This book was alright--nothing that really stood out to me as worthy of a re-read, which was a shame, because I do like a good jilted-and-then-reunited HR. But then, I haven't been that big of a fan of the Duke's Men series, so there's that. Jane and Dominick are perfectly lovely characters, but there's nothing memorable about them, or their re-connection.
Nancy's "secret" is 100% obvious. Oh, and she's an idiot.
