Although I kind of liked both of the main characters. They were different than the conventional expected normal that society of their times demanded. However, this story just never seemed to really get me to like it as much as I had hoped. For me, it was hard to keep really interested when not a lot really seemed to be happening. Sure, there were a few things going on but it just seemed to lack some real depth as well; even with both of them giving their own point of views.
Both Emma and Jon had good family members that were part of the story. It just didn't hook me into the story all that much. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either.
There is a H.E.A. which I did feel like they deserved because they were both good and honorable people.
