That seems to prevent Hall from fully committing to his villainy, yet making him problematic enough that I’m not comfortable rooting for him in the future.

Friends long thought lost are found and slowly, gingerly become lovers in this beautiful and deeply moving historical romance, with just the right amount of humor to lighten the angst.Whatever it is,” she told him, her head turned away, her expression cast in shadow by the fall of her hair, “there is no place for it in the world.
