I'm not really a fan of Harlequen novels, but this one was actually pretty good. It is labeled 'historical' but I'd probably call it more a 'period' piece. When I think of 'historical novel' I usually come away having learned something about the history or culture and a desire to google for more info. That wasn't really the case here. But the story itself was pretty good. Sure, the hero and heroine took and instant dislike to each other, there were complications along the way, and the ended up in love...but there was a lot of 'side' interest too, in the sisters, the former lovers, accidents, etc. Good character development. I'm not real likely to run out and look for another Harliquen, but this one was laying around, so I picked it up....and enjoyed it.
