Had I been in another mood while reading this, I might have enjoyed this book more than I actually did. I think a recent read of mine has left me in a more critical mindset vis-a-vis historical romance, though this one was certainly far better and incredibly well researched. 
 I think that one of the problems was that I didn't like the heroine much. Throughout the story she frequently made what I would consider to be stupid, poorly thoughtout decisions. The hero didn't make much sense either. He's angry beyond belief, believing she betrayed him, ignoring her for all he's worth and next moment he can't keep his hands off her? An action that wasn't really in character for him. 
 Overall I enjoyed the story but feel it could have been better.
