Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed, with one giant caveat at the end. A cold, distant heroine who is in fact cold and distant, even after she falls in love, and has very good reasons for her coldness and distance. A hero who is a shallow, vain rake, who is in fact rakish and vain and as thoughtless as h...

It took the lady a long time to be awakened but what a great story and plot. I'm usually good at predicting what's going to happen but while I was listening to this , I couldn't think of one way that these 2 people could be together!The book is full of bad sex which is rare in romance books,I've rea...
But I don’t know what to do with those Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs.
I enjoyed parts of this, but disliked others. Theo is a man who has been sent to his family's country estate in Sussex to 'reform' in a sense. For the most part, he is unremarkable. I read him as a character who has a serious lack of self-esteem, although he generally puts up a good front of conf...

4.5 starsDon't tell my boss but I had to finish the last 50 pages surreptitiously at my desk this morning. I really loved this, although Martha's antipathy was daunting and lasted longer than I expected. Worth the wait - so nicely done, actually, and Theo is just adoooooorable. My only other quibb...
