This was okay. I really enjoy career-minded heroines in historical romance - I appreciated Elizabeth's intelligence and ambition, and I was SO into her plan to start her own investment firm. But many aspects of Emmett and the romance were just too "old school" for my tastes. I struggle to tolerate even echoes of 1980s bodice rippers. There wasn't anything THAT bad here, but it just didn't do it for me. I may try the next book in the series, though, because I'm fairly obsessed with the Gilded Age.
