I loved it! While the book blurb was nice but fairly common for historical romances, the book was actually not that common. From the very first page it had me gripped and I didn't want to put it down. I love when that happens! The hero seemed like a complete darling from the very beginning so I'm not sure what the other wall flowers were complaining about. I do think I have to go back and read the series from the beginning. I enjoyed seeing the couple come together, I loved the possessiveness the hero showed for his wife. I loved how he didn't say a word to her but them came threatening anyone who would touch her...however innocently. I did think that her family would play a much bigger role considering how much they tortured the heroine but I guess she had more than enough villains to deal with. Great story, excellent writing...i hope it will be an awesome series.
