It could have been full of five-star-awesomeness, but instead a whole heap of little things kept tripping my fuses, which dragged it down a bit. This was a book that had so much potential. This was like a partially cooked soufflé, and I don't care for soufflés. Incomplete backstory with dead mother and overly strict father Despite being childhood friends, the H and h go back and forth over whether he had sex with the OW or not. It's six years later and he meets up with the heroine and tries to explain why he had to jilt her when his FIL suddenly sends him the son and heir he's ignored for six years. H jilts the h because his brutally mean father made him so he leaves for the conveniently placed Napoleonic Wars and comes home to a son which is odd as he never had sex with his wife. Via flashbacks, we learn that the H was betrothed to his beloved h, but gets trapped by the evil OW as she literally lies in wait for him in bed. This wasn't terrible, but it was very unfinished, incomplete, half-baked.
