After reading a biography on FHB, I decided to look at this book, one of her first novels. Although you can definitely see her progression as a writer judging from her later books, I did enjoy this one. Reminded of North & South. She's really good at accents and it was difficult making sense of the

On the one hand, I need every talented historical romance writer to get on this level: hot, buff, competent female protag befriending and advocating for other ladies while the love interest remains quietly and consistently undone by her everything.
