As a romance I did NOT enjoy this. The heroine is a plain widow with a large dowry, and it was exhausting and not romantic how the male lead kept harping on the fact that she wasn't attractive. Like give it a rest. I thought she could have done better but at least he's adequately smitten by the end.
The other aspects of this book I actually really liked. I especially enjoyed the heroine's character and growth. And I can always count on Caroline Linden books to actually feel like historical fiction.
