Usually I get annoyed when the author gets to busy pimping her other characters for future books but the characters here are so interesting and intriguing as to where they could possible end up that I didn't mind….at times. This is the first book in a series, the cast of characters are just getting introduce which is why Tess's other sisters get so much attention. There is not much interaction between the two, but boy howdy when there is action it is intense. Such a plethora of characters that the main ones, Lucius and Tess, get lost in the mix at times. I love when author's work in the title of the book into the story somehow, adds a little something for me. I'm quite enjoying the feistiness between Lucius and Tess, especially when Tess responds with "Much ado about nothing." in regards to their kiss and Lucius's marriage proposal because of it. I love how Derwent's eye twitching means to him calamity in the worse form, or to him marriage and just wants to escape the house while everyone is still a bachelor.
I definitely hope Derwent sticks around in this story. The discourse between Derwent, Lucius's manservant, and Lucius is hilarious. When Lucius is about to walk into the dining room and meet a slightly tipsy Tess the smile on my face was unstoppable.
I don't mind when it becomes apparent right off the bat who the heroine is going to fall in love with, in fact I kind of enjoy how giddy I get when they are about to meet or are meeting for the first time.
Series which have lead ladies with different personalities are always fun reads for me. I like how this book started out with describing the Essex sisters and how they are all different.
