I have 3 weddings to attend this year so I thought I would do something random and read three romance novels. I see them on so many of my friends's shelves but somehow I've never read them. So this is the second one of the three. 
 I was pleasantly surprised by the style of this book, it didn't feel modern but more or less like the 19th century English which played in its favour. The characters were developed through encounters and felt realistic, though the distinction was very black-white- either a villain or a hero(ine). The beginning of the story was very unusual and sucked you in quickly. I especially enjoyed the pace of the first half where experiences and feelings were paid attention to, the second half felt a little rushed. Overall a compelling love story.
