Well done! Once begun, I was hard pressed to put this down and finished it in two days. I found myself smiling as I read through the first half of the book ... this is so reminiscent of a Jane Austen story. The characters are all quite likable and it quickly becomes obvious that no one is exactly as they present themselves to be!

Most delightful of all is knowing that we can read the newest installment every month! Katherine's story might be a frolic and it will be interesting watching Stephen struggle through growing pains. You just know Margaret and Crispin are fated to meet again ... but when will we be given Constantine's story, I wonder? He just cannot be the villain he seems!

So much to look forward to! I'm already on the waiting list. Are you?

This was definitely not a keeper for me...it moved very slowly and I didn't like the "hero" at all. However, it was well-written and I hope the series improves from here.

I am a big Mary Balogh fan but this book just didn't seem to live up to her other series. I just didn't feel the desire and conflict between the main characters. It left me feeling let down but i will continue the series.

This book was a historical romance and an almost Cinderella story. It is about a family that goes from pinching their pennies to becoming one of the wealthiest families of the ton.

Nice story albeit a bit tame and predictable. Interesting characters and good interaction.
