review 1: The book's description doesn't do it justice. The female lead is a surgeon in 1800s England...A titled women new to the ton. In case you don't know this, it's not legal for a woman to be a licensed physician at that time. So, she's practicing medicine illegally while trying to get accustomed to the idiosyncratic world of the aristocracy, and dealing with an overbearing protector. Oh! Plus, some mean guys are out to gether. Let's just say it's a fun romp, shall we?
review 2: None of the motivations of the characters of this book made any sense at all. Why would someone go to the trouble of making sure his title was inherited by his daughter without telling her that it even existed? Why would a hero who appreciated how unconventional the heroine was, and who
... morehad a unconventional sister whom he loved and respected, suddenly go all prudish when it was revealed the heroine was off acting unconventionally? If you knew someone had already broken into your house to steal something once, wouldn't you at least take the trouble of hiding that thing before going to sleep? Also thrown in: love at first sight and lots of villains who seem to be evil when all their goals could be achieved with much less energy and evilness.Everything felt contrived and unrealistic, with lots of conflict created on the flimsiest of premises and misunderstandings. Never bought the connection between heroine and hero. Skipped about 10 chapters to the end because characters were getting on my nerves. less

Another unusual twist. A lady who practices medicine when it was illegal and unheard of.
