This novel left me pretty torn. This is the first book I've ever read by Marianne Willman and I was deeply impressed with her writing, the lovely and unique setting, and her details. What kept this book from being a keeper for me is...the hero. Hands down. The hero is obsessed with his former love, is far more sexually experienced so the heroine has to put up with an ex-mistress, he lies to the heroine about something major and his own life is so fraught with bullshit when the heroine finally reveals her big secret it seems anti-climactic and silly. I kept wanting the heroine to dump the hero and get with someone without so much baggage. What the hell is the point of reading a romance novel in which the heroine doesn't even come first in the hero's affections for three quarters of the book?
