Okay so I really like Harry and Poppy's story. Harry is not Merripen but he could be if he tried! I adored every aspect of this book. I like when the characters have some huge fear from their past that they have to get over. Harry's was pretty big and really sad but it was nice to see him dealing with it in the manner he did. 
 I was a little put out by the means Harry used to "obtain" Poppy as his bride but I ended up forgiving him in the long run because of his continuous need to make Poppy happy. I enjoyed Poppy and Harry back on the Ramsay estate and I loved the revelation about the relationship between Harry and Catherine Marks. I guessed it but I still loved it. 
 Poppy is probably the least interesting of the couple though her intelligence makes her more likable. I detest dumb heroines and to see that Harry became more fascinated with her knowing she was intelligent made him easier to like and all the wiser. 
 Leo's fascination with Catherine Marks in this book is a great lead into their book. I do adore all the moments with Beatrix, her ferret and her hedgehog.
