I would put this book in the decent category. The author tried to drag out the chase much longer than the story would withstand, but the characters were interesting enough, if slightly implausible. It ends rather abruptly and leaves parts of the story unfinished, likely because it's part of a series.
The heroine evokes Mary Anning, possibly a little too much. I suspect the author was inspired by "Remarkable Creatures", a novel about the British fossil collector prior to women being accepted in scientific circles. Having read that book, this novel pales in comparison, but then it's difficult to critique a romance novel against a best-seller.
The Lord has an interesting back story, but an unusual condition that causes our two characters to be in close quarters. I found it just slightly too much of a stretch to believe, given our rakish Lord must be our hero, and thus turn out to be a decent man beneath it all.
Love it or leave it? Leave it.
Buy the book!
