I loved the sins and virtues reference on the characters' names. It fit them perfectly. I loved how much Modesty cared for the baby, and how quickly he fell for her. 
The big reveal felt flat in my eyes, not the big aha I was expecting! But then again, this is not marketed as a thriller
The pacing was all over the place, I felt it rushed over some important aspects of the story and dragged on others.
Still, this book is a good pass the time read for fans of historical romance with a tiny amount of spice. 
I listened to the audiobook and the narrators, Shane East and Justine Eyre were the perfect cast for these characters and made it more enjoyable.
