I enjoyed this book - the constant attention to manners was funny and I liked how the characters werte referred to as Miss Hisselpenny or Lord Akeldama and switched to first names for more intimacy. I was all ready to buy the second one until I accidentally read the synopsis of the third and it say Alexia is leaving Lord Maccon and when I looked the second one it's about him having left - I like them together and I'm not sure if I want to read on if they aren't. Those of you who've read these, are the second and third books good or should I just stop where I am?
