I understand what disappointed reader meant when he/she said that it dragged out too long with Evelyn needing to feel thankful. I agree that I enjoy it more when love is reciprocated sooner. Even if he is not willing to admit it to her yet, I at least want him to admit it to himself! I hated seeing Evelyn selling herself short. EVEN SO, I did enjoy the book. It was the first Waddel book I have read and I look forward to "He Said No". I would recommend this book!

I thought this book had a lot of promise. I enjoyed a previous book by this author. But, shortly after beginning this book, I started to get a bad feeling. I feel that it went too long with Marshall only wanting Evelyn as a mistress. In other books with the same premise, (and I can't think of a good example right now), it didn't go clear until the end before the hero realized he loved his mistress. I don't enjoy books such as this one where there is only a physical bond. I know he did wonderful things for Evelyn, but Marshall never looked at her as a future wife until the end. I know this book has received high marks so many people have enjoyed it. I may just be too fussy and picky, but I felt Evelyn was a victim and had to be too grateful to her rescuer. I guess I should stick to books where the two leads are a little more equal in status. It might leave a better taste in my mouth.

If ever there were a man to champion my needs, please let it be the Marquis of Waltham, Marshall Hanley Bedford. Even his flaws gleam with the polished perfection of his peerage. The intelligent and witty Marquis of Waltham will have a mistress and sets his mind on the lovely seamstress, Evelyn Dennsworth. Fate falls at his feet when Evelyn is accused of steeling. Already a captive of her beauty, the marquis saves her from the horrors of London's Victorian prisons. Like playing a long slow game of poker, the Marquis uses his finely honed aristocratic skills to seduce her. Though the lovable Evelyn may be vulnerable to his charms, she is far too smart to be tricked by his seduction. With every play of his hand they come closer to being exposed to a society as binding to class as the corsets that bound their women.
Ms Waddell is a gifted writer. She has an uncanny ability to write one line dialogues and events that speaks volumes about her characters. I roared with laughter, screamed with their triumph and cried at their defeat. I'm so glad "He Said Yes" is the beginning of a series because I do not want this to end.
