This made big improvements on the previous book.
Lady Whistledown was used much better in this book but I still wish she had been a bigger part of it.
Anthony and Kate were an engaging couple and I felt that they had strong chemistry. However I did feel that there was too much hate from Kate towards Anthony with no real foundation, this made the story feel flimsy and superficial at first. Their relationship and tension does grow well though and it becomes more believable.
I don't like that in both books a compromising position has led to a proposal. I'd rather see love before the marriage.
There were still some phrases in this book that I felt uncomfortable with, that I know are of the time but totally took me out of the story.
