I wanted to love this book because I love the tv show, but it landed on just a like for me. It's clear that Julia Quinn is a talented and very descriptive writer, but the story dragged at times. I also didn't love some of the characteristics of the characters (the men were a bit too overbearing and protective, for example), and the content in certain scenes left a sour taste in my mouth.
