He is just a good man, not a rake, who is fascinated by Mercy. Mercy is awesome, a strong woman who tries to keep things on track despite her idiot brother Bede and bratty sister Grace. These latter two were the biggest problem I had with the book. Bede is lazy, cruel, and just objectionable. I never understood why the fact Mercy stole the voucher negated the paper as a gentleman would be expected to honor it regardless (at least according to hundreds of HRs I've read). Grace is just a brat and her sudden transformation didn't seem real at the end. We spent too much time on these two and not enough on Mercy and Silas's relationship IMHO. So I give this 3 1/2 stars.

First, the writing could use some work. It goes purple with some frequency, and there are a lot of really tortured metaphors. She refers to people physically draw to one another as being like two slices of bread separated and longing to be reunited. Huh? Second, the female MC, Mercy, has a horrid brother who gambles away their family manse and much more and is unbothered by any pain or difficulty he causes and he gets virtually no comeuppance. He is stopped from doing to much more damage but he also ends up just fine. The second most vile character actually benefits financially from being a horrible human. That was not satisfying at all. In the end it was a better than average historical -- about a 3.5 rounded down for its firm stand against retribution. (
