I am a Julia Quinn addict so any book that she can come up with I know i will love. This book was a great read, I really loved Seb in the last book so I'm glad he finally got his own book and is still as charming as ever, plus it was a big shock to find out what his secret occupation was so that was a delight. I also liked seeing a different side of Seb, the one that is haunted by war to the point that he sometimes finds himself not being able to sleep, so great charecter development there. 
 Annabel however is a different story, she seemed a little dumb to me (perhaps too clueless of London society?) I dont know but for some reason I didnt like his heroine as much as I liked the other Heroines from other books. Olivia however was even better in this book that she was in her own book, I totally adored her to death. 
 on a final note I absolutly adored Lady Vickers
