I read this book after reading Sir Gerald's story, and I was very happy with the story line. However, there were just a few missing scenes. *Spoiler* There needed to be a scene on Miles actively trying to "please" his wife in bed. There also needed to be a scene where Miles confronted Rachel, the horid step-mother. I also don't think it would have hurt to end the book with the reunion of Abby and her half-sisters. Overall, I did enjoy the book, but was surprised those three scenes were not in the book.
