This was my first Lisa Kleypas book, and I'm not sure that I'll be seeking out another one. The plot of this story was missing, and in its stead was too much panting and kissing. The character development was non-existant as well-- I could have cared less what happened to either of them. In fact, the only character I liked was Uncle Hartley, but he had almost no role in the story. I would have appreciated fewer intimate scenes in place of a story line that held my attention. I repeatedly put the book down and had to force myself through the end of it.
