A lovely book.. Though having read this series in a backwards order, i feel slightly let down vy this one. The other 3 were so good and this one turned out to be my least favourite of the lot. It was still a pretty good historical romance. Julia quinn could nver write a less than satisfactory novel. But yeah this one wasnt as good as the nxt 3. If you have read this one...know that it just keeps getting better. In order of my preference i's say book 4-2-3-1 .
