Not bad - a sweet romance, though I wanted to slap her, and occasionally him, throughout. Talk to each other, people! She's lying her head off, when he'd be jumping to help her if she told him - of course, if she had told him, she might not have stayed long enough to fall in love with him and his family. He's not telling her what he knows, either - which is not much, for most of the book, but still. Her plan was a rather nasty one, and worked only in the abstract - as soon as there were people involved, it fell apart. Jonathan was pulling a trick on her, too, not telling her about Jane and Lucy. I don't know. Sweet, eventually, but the twists and turns they had to go through to get there...I'm glad it didn't end when she found them, she had to actually deal with real people again. That's what makes it worth reading, that the characters are quite solid, and have their own motives that they hold to. Glad I read it, but I doubt I'll reread; I'm willing to read others by her, but I don't think I'll seek them out. Too much manipulation for my taste. ( )
