Disjointed but still a decent read

First, let me say that Kleypas is a brilliant writer. I enjoy most of her books. This, however wasn’t one of her best. Why? The ending was weird. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t line up with the rest of the book. It’s like the first 7/8ths was one book and the last 1/8th was another. If I were editor, I would have recommended that she end the book after Victoria’s being rescued. Another good option would be to write Vivienne as the ultimate villain and have Grant perform a second rescue. Either way, what Kleypas wrote instead seemed like the ending to a book about self-discovery or trust when the book was more of a mystery-thriller combined with romance.

The narrator was good, but not as good as I would have liked. Her voices need to be more varied.
