The best one in the series so far! And, the teaser for the next book had me in a chokehold. Cannot wait.

Now that I've had some time to think, I feel that for a book tackling so much I dislike MacLean's signature hero thinking he's not good enough for the heroine when society agrees with him. 
I think Imogene is allowed to skate on the privilege of her position which really stinks since her approach to
the one downside of being a lady, namely expectations of marriage, is that she ignores it and the plot bears out that it was never a threat.
Tommy is a cop with the power of that position and he gives it up. Imogene never seems to even have to acknowledge her power. It feels like ignoring that class intersection.
I wish MacLean had sat with her discomfort over Tommy getting dressed up a little longer rather than just cutting the scene because it gets to the heart of this problem.
