Somehow, this book managed to have almost no angst, despite a deliciously promising setup. Insecure heroine falls for handsome rake-ish type, there’s a bit of a love triangle that somehow manages to not cause any of the characters much distress. The heroine is surprisingly blasé about it. I really liked the story quite a bit, I was just disappointed that everyone just kind of drifted around smiling at each other. (3.5 stars) (
