this story would have been a worthwhile contemporary romance, but the premise-a lord, lost in a blizzard, who stays with a widow alone for several days in her home-was just too far fetched in a Regency romance.In fact, the story read like a Harlequin contemporary set in Regency times-which if it would have been Regency England, the heroine would have been in disgrace for having a man stay at her home while she's not chaperoned. Not recommended. 2 stars.
