Sadly, Julia Quinn will no longer be an automatic purchase after this mess. The whole Smythe-Smith series is kind of bland and rushed out, but this book was especially bad. I will still buy the next book, but I would not realy recommend this one to anyof my friends. Seriously, everyone acts so dumb in this book. Their personalities aren't really explored much, you don't know much about Richard's family beyond "father was a dummy who meant well" and his sisters are not that bright either. Regarding Iris, I can tell you that she's pale, not a morning person, is good at the cello (but hates it FROWNY FACE), and trips and falls into Richard's chest quite often. I couldn't tell you much about Richard beyond the fact that he has hair that probably curls in the rain. Except it's not really that mysterious and while his motivations might be considered noble, he does a completely horrible thing that gets resolved in about 3 chapters. Richard "has to get married" and it's so mysterious and tragic. The pot is dumb.really, disappointingly dumb. I have read all of her books, but this one was so disappointing. The Viscount Who Loved Me is one of my all time favorite books.
