I read this book two weeks ago and have already forgotten most of it, other than that it is the sort of historical romance novel that is surely perfect for someone but isn't for me. There's a rich guy with unusual sexual appetites who everyone thinks is bad but really he's just kinky and sad because his mother didn't show him enough love, and there's a widow with a secret who's trying to save all of the orphans from the slums of London, plus the deaths of a bunch of prostitutes and overprotective older brothers and a sister who sacrifices her own virtue to save her ungrateful husband, like you do. So there's obviously a lot of stuff that happens in this book, but there's very little heart or real human behavior, and I just don't like straight romance well enough these days to get past all of the nonsense, sorry.
