Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:

At a glittering White House gala, Abigail Cabot discovers the man of her dreams. Only, he's not interested...yet. So the gifted lady astronomer, whose passion for measuring stars has left her woefully lacking in social graces, seeks someone to educate her...someone who is a master at the art of seduction.

Jamie Calhoun's handsome looks and easy charm have made him as popular on the Senate floor as he is with the capital's most attractive women. But secretly he loathes the cynical, manipulative man he's become. Initially, he befriends Abigail as a means to a political end. But somewhere along the way the plan goes awry.

First laughter and then love take them completely by surprise in this wildly romantic story. For a man convinced he's incapable of love and a woman who believes she can reach the stars, could this be a match made in heaven?

I wanted this book to be better than it was. After all, the heroine is an astronomer. The problem was, I did not like hero straight off. I did not like the heroine's family. The book came across as a weird mashup of Roxanne and She's All That, and it did not work for me. Also, Washington politics are boring, no matter the century. ( )

Set in the late 1800's in Washington, DC, where Abigail's father is a powerful politician. Abigail is usually overlooked, in favor of her sister Helena, but a new congressman in town is set on currying her father's favor & starts squiring her around town, and transforming her into a beautiful swan.

Very light romance. No surprises, but if you are looking for a light, quick read, this is for you. ( )

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, Susan Wiggs has a wonderful style of writing. Her characters are gorgeous (both central characters and sub-characters) and her story so engaging, I was turning each page with anticipation. Can't wait to read some more of her work. ( )
