A bit of an out of left field conflict invented 3/4 of the way through and there were a few passages that could have used a bit more editing (repeated phrases or ideas)...but Lisa Kleypas is always such fun to read that I didn't really care. With a less talented author it would have bugged me much more but she's so good at what she writes that even a whiny cynic like me just has to shut up and enjoy the fun.
