Loved It
Wasn't sure what to expect since I have never "read" this author, but I am currently downloading book 2. Loved it, of course I absolutely enjoy this period of time in romance novels. I like how the main story follows the "fairy tale" that is the back meaning of this book. Ahhh, true love and the pursuit of it. Ann Flosnik does an excellent job as always, she and Polly Lee and the lilt of English I truly love, had some trouble with the Boston Colonial accent, but it didn't hurt the story. Worth the credit or the purchase. I see book 3 is also available. Cant Wait!!!! LOL I love audio books, I can do 2 things at once LOL.
Not bad...
The prickly nature of the heroine of this book tended to grate on my nerves, but the overall story wasn't bad. The great narration made up for anything that was lacking. I am looking forward to the next installment of the series.
Love the moccasins wearing American
The hero is such a likable character. He is sweet, thoughtful, kind and certainly persistent to be in a relationship with a heroine that clearly sees herself as superior to him socially. She is very selective in who she is associated with and sticks to the Tons standards. It was hard to like her as the heroine so I found myself imagining how harsh the society must have been at that time and focusing on her inner struggle with its standards in order to find something redeeming about her. It was very nice to see her put all those standards aside to just be with the hero even if it meant leaving England and everything else behind.
