SERIOUS SPOILER ALERT> Do not continue to read if you want to be surprised!:


What I loved: Sir Waldo was not only humourous but ever so kind at heart. The fact that he cared for orphans was sweet and showed what kind of man he really was. Also, that he did not care so much for propriety and set his own rules while still being gentle. I truly enjoyed that Ancilla was a governess.

What I did not like: Tiffany the brat! Seriously, I felt Ancilla should have had more of a firm hand on her. I would have liked to have saw Tiffany's progress in the book at becoming a better person instead of everyone accepting her for what she was. I know it ended with her getting severely reprimanded but still! It should have came so much sooner. I almost couldn't stomach her attitude. I also would have a liked a bit more romantic dialogue between the two main characters. Perhaps had the story continued just until he came back to actually "claim" her as his wife instead of just plans.

For this I would give it a 3.75 but since there is not option I gave it a 3.5. I really enjoyed the main personalities of the main characters and who they were.
