I like this more than the other stories in this series SStJ. I like James. He is passionate and determine! His very wise too! I also love a man who value his father. I love that James has a heart and I also want to hug him when he re-tells how his father sacrificed. I love the plot twist and this story is new! The main plot is nicely done. Although the story seems too long it never get away with the main idea and struggles of its characters. The sisterly love between the trio Elisabeth-Eleanor-Emma is quite remarkable. Although when it comes with Eleanor and Sir David I think it was written too fast. Nonetheless this is much better than the others. I still want to know David and Eleanor story too! This is the one story I liked most and this is a must-read. While I adored Jim in the other scoundrel stories, this story left me unsatisfied and disappointed.For some reason, Jim's story just seems more convoluted than the other books that I've read in this series (granted, I did skip Jack's story because of similar reasons). That however, was only a small fraction of the reason I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others.The main reason:There is a plot twist in this story that I completely did not see coming and totally blew my mind. That's usually a good thing in most stories however, after reading the twist, what little part of me that was rooting for the main characters to get together just died.After this point in the story, I had a difficult time stomaching the characters' interactions and it completely ruined my enjoyment of this novel. Effectively, I was left reading a romance novel where I don't ship the two main characters.Two stars - one because Lorraine Heath is a good writer nonetheless, one because I adore this universe that she's built.
