It was alright: I probably scored it lower because I had been expecting awesome, and for me it was just ok. I love historical fiction, and this one was good enough - spitfire heroine, hero who will not be wed, calculating relatives and emotional scenes - but the ending was a little bit out of character with the rest of the story, with no real motivation given for very dynamic changes in some characters, and that made me like it a little bit less. Like I said - OK, but not awesome.
