Cute, well-written romance. I loved the contrast of the hero "Rom" versus the virginal English heroine. The version I read is part of a series written by various authors, which I think is a really clever idea! I hadn't read any of the other books, and it was no problem except that I had difficulty following the side characters. (I just want to know, WHY must the titled folks be referred to by both their surnames and by their titled names?! I'm confusable-enough to begin with!)

I enjoyed the story and will look for more to read by Ms. Merrill!
