The one thing that bugged me a LOT was how they captured the "whisperer" in the end. Wraybourne having Jane dance with both the suspected men seemed a bit of a stretch. Personally I'd be furious if my fiance put me in a position where I was in the arms of a man who had raped several women. And he seemed to care for her more than that.
What I really appreciated was how clean the romance was. Just sweet and enjoyable, nothing untoward. It's far too rare these days and it was a nice change of pace to see him fall for her because of her charm and wit and not just her curves.
