I enjoyed this book more than I expected.  It wasn’t a syrupy romance and the villains made the storyline more exciting. I liked Hugh and Maria. At times I found Jane a bit overbearing. Also at the beginning it described Maria as having “amber colored eyes wide and bright” but later as “blue eyes sparkling.” The details needed to be more consistent.
