This story is kind of romantic, but the plot line has a lot to be desired. The characters could have been written with more depth. The love story between these two is almost nonexistent until before the ball. The Duke didn't really pursue her, but through desired looks and berating himself. To expose himself at the Christmas Ball the way he did, left him open to ridicule and being cut from the ton. The Duke has responsibilities to his land and people, not just himself. This is something that is overlooked by authors, how damaging something like this can be financially to a dukedom. Everyone loves a Cinderella story, but no one conceives the consequences of such actions in the Regency era.
