I had high hopes for An Heir of Uncertainty since I liked Ruined by Rumor, but damn, this book just rubbed me the wrong way. The writing wasn't as refined as Lorraine Heath's or as fluid as Lisa Kleypas', but it was passable. The mystery element was okay, too. What made me dislike this book was the fact that there was no chemistry between Lina and Win, at all. Their relationship felt forced and, at times, contrived. None of the characters were likeable as well. Blech. 
 The straw that broke the camel's back was when Win kept on noticing other girls in the story--the housekeeper, and even Lina's sister! Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I do not like it if the hero is sexually attracted to anyone other than the heroine. That's a big no-no for me. Seriously, it was all I could do not to throw the book across the room.
