Really good. Each person true to their characters, a fascinatingly complex situation, only one contrived obstacle and that a minor consideration - it doesn't really come into play until near the end and so doesn't last long. She has better reasons for refusing him before that. I really like Victoria, and Damion, and Jessica - I even like Margaret, by the end. And never a false note - it rang true as a Regency story throughout (no falling into bed. for one thing). Excellent. ( )
