I found Prudence to be an interesting character. Even her name evoked the idea of a prude, a spinster who has no interest in romance. She is naive but determined and takes to bring the new marchioness very quickly with the help of both her friends and Ross. Ross underestimates himself, beneath the scars and gruff exterior there is a kind man. I enjoyed this novel much more than I thought I would and I recommend it.
