For such a romantic romance, the dark parts of this story were very dark! It's weird since this is a funny romance too. But there were murders and abuse, so odd. It worked though. Them, as a couple, was very believable. Sometimes the heroine made extremely stupid decisions that aggravated me. She was not without money. I didn't understand why she couldn't just hire a bow street runner to do her dirty work for her and investigate... Her survival skills were lacking, but the romance made up for it!
