This book felt much more like a vintage HP than a modern one. The story dealt with family feuds and mysteries and tragic love affairs. The tone of the book was fairly melodramatic.

The heroine was very fragile and had some nervous breakdown type mental issues. The hero while he was trying to get revenge on her family through her, still did some very lovely things for her and really only treated her poorly one time.

The sex scenes were pretty out there for HPs especially the first one. But they were well written and fairly hot.

All in all it convinced me that I need to try more by this author. ( )
