The leads were genial enough, but they didn't really seem to go anywhere after they were established. The hero already loves her deeply when the book opens, and the remainder of it is spent with him agonizing over telling her because he doesn't want her pity for a low-born childhood acquaintance. If you like drawn-out angst, this will be your cuppa. It just wasn't mine.
