Promising new author

Motivations were confusing and the hero's determination to "humble" the heroine was at times almost painful to read; still, the author has a lovely sense of humor, and the secondary characters--especially the deliciously vulgar Mrs. Morgan--were delightful. I look forward to reading Virtue's Prize, Ms. Beck's next book.
