Pretty average historical romance (mid-Victorian), nothing too offensive, nothing too outstanding. A ton of appearances from the leads in previous books in the series, not surprisingly, since this is the sixth book in the series and everyone is related. Could've done with a little less Plot Moppet, and was a little surprised by the seemingly hanging thread of Tom's relationship with his family - when he put it in the "contract," I thought surely it would come up again, but not so much. Anyway. The only real nitpick I have here is that Cassandra is described in the text of the book as being bigger and the cover model, while definitely beautiful, is not plus at all. I enjoyed this, because Lisa Kleypas is wonderful, but it might not stick with me for long.
