Terrible. This book is too short, not researched, full of anachronisms, and unsatisfying. What sheltered English miss in the early 1800s even knew what a viper was, let alone compared it to her betrothed's mistress' smile? All the characters are caricatures, the plot is weak and tired, and why, oh why, do Kristina Cook's HISTORICALS all have contemporary or cartoonish covers? Maybe I shouldn't have posted this, because now no one will want to take the book off my hands.
