The characters deserve better... this is less of a romance or character novel and more about traditions leading up to and around Christmas. Its a shame because my major interest in the novel originated from a historical romance set during the holidays, but nothing really happened-- no conflicts or anything really involving plot.
I got to just over half way through and realized that as no real conflict or time spent with the couple as anything more than this nebulous idea of a couple with his appreciating her and wanting to marry her...I looked up to see if anything would actually happen, found nothing would, and just called it quits. I give it two stars simply because the idea is sound and what I did read of the lead couple (if I can't remember there names half way through...there is a problem) I liked the idea of them (tutor/governess to the Cynster children) and thought they had potential, they were just under developed.
