I thoroughly enjoy all of Jo Beverley's period novels, but this one has been my least favorite. The storyline was a little too farfetched and the main character, Portia, was virtuous to the extreme. She clearly had feelings for Lord Bryght, but took a hardline position of virgin to the extreme. It irritated me that her character repeatedly ran away from Bryght and she seemed to have a one-track mind regarding her brother and his gambling problems.
