I liked this one because the rake hero falls hard and fast - to the point when everyone else makes mention of the heroine's "plain" looks he thinks they're all blithering idiots and obviously blind. Who doesn't love a hero like that? Anyway, while this screams "light historical" and it's humorous for the most part - it opens with some heavy angst (Evil Grandfather beating the stuffing out of the youngest sister, Grace) and granddad gets even more monstrous when a Big Secret comes to light at the end. Heavy, heavy angst mixed with light, fluffy humor is an odd mix - and one that doesn't always work for me. Gracie makes it work better than most authors who have trod down this garden path - but there's an off-kilter feeling in "tone" during specific chapters. Good, not great - and I wasn't all that enamored with the younger sisters, so probably won't continue on with the series. A B rating on my non-GR rating scale.
