This book started off with lots of promise. I liked the heroine in the beginning, along with the hero. But by the time she was asked to help do something important, it became too much. This was a modern-era woman set in Regency times. Too hard to swallow. It's too bad because I enjoyed the first two books and looked forward to reading the entire series. Now I'm not so sure. I will try Mary's earlier books since readers do highly recommend them.
