Not bad. Not wonderful - the situation is rather contrived and the standard romance trope of 'he won't accept that he's in love' is carried to annoying extremes. But the characters are well-done and properly held to, the setting is nicely presented (though 'stockings' aren't quite what they wore then, or not what we now call stockings), and the story's not bad overall. And quite erotic - it actually got less explicit when they finally got together. Pleasant to read, I may reread and I'd like to read more in the series. (

This is somewhere in the middle of a series of historicals about the hero's brothers. Really cute. He goes looking for someone to protect him from the "curse" that's got all his brothers marrying one after the other... and ends up finding the One, though he still resists, of course. Kind of silly, but a lot of fun. (
