The Sins of Lord Lockwood

3.5 rounding up to 4

I liked it. For a while, I thought we were going to sink into the familiar trope of your love saved me from PTSD, anxiety etc... that often plagues romance books. I still felt like there were slight elements of that, but it provided a more believable portrayal of dealing with PTSD in that era than I usually see. The ending was all a bit haphazard in my opinion. I was left wondering as I often am, why historical romance authors insist on shoehorning a mystery/murder subplot into their novels. These subplots rarely often work, and usually detract from the romance while leading to a weaker plot overall.
