3.5

To understand why I didn't rate this higher, some context is important. Its a minor pet peeve of mine when the characters in any romance (but particularly historical, where often the reason they can't be together something to do with class), have very real circumstances that would mean they could not be together, and in the resolution of the story, those circumstances are are easily swept aside or dues ex machina'ed. I think part of the deal is to see you sacrifice some of your reputation/status/life in order to make it work!! 

Anyway, that's what happens in this book and despite really loving the dynamic, dialogue and characters, I'm annoyed. Still cute though, and I plan to read more from this author.
