I'm pretty fond of Anne Bronte but, yeah, her books are pretty understated. They don't really have any "reader, I married him" or out on the wild and windy moors moments to leap out and hit you in the face.
I have mixed feelings about Tam Lin. I agree, interesting more than likable. And, ymmv of course, but no one I've ever met spoke like those characters. At all, anywhere, at any time.
