I disliked the scene where he feeds her the teacup.
The hiccups and hurdles to HEA were entertaining and not as cliched as usual with romances set in C19 England.

This was a quick and enjoyable read. I liked the characters and their relationships, the plot kept my interest, and I found the writing style to be engaging.

It gets 2 stars mostly because the actual writing was good. This was my first Kleypas book, and I'll probably give her another go based on writing.

- absolutely adored the familial interactions between West, Kathleen and the Ladies Ravenel
- wasn't completely sold on the romance between Devon and Kathleen until after the maybe 60% mark and it was kind of dubious even then
- not sure how I feel on the set up of Helen and Rhys's book being the failed engagement, but am intrigued enough to read it
