I absolutely loved this book. Instantly, I was drawn to the fact that it took place a long time ago, "New World" and I love reading about romances back then. Not sure why, but they just appeal to me.
I loved Bridget, the main character. She loves her parents, who have taken really good care of her, but she does not want them to pick who she marries. Can you blame her? I sure as heck don't. I would not want an arranged marriage either and that's why she is one of my favorite characters! She's in love with her family's indentured servant, Phillipe, and you also fall in love with him. The two are perfect for each other and you can see that throughout this entire book. The man that her parents set her up with, Edward, he's not exactly a prize. He may seem like one, with all of his land and money, but deep down he's just like all of the other men who are too obsessed with their money: selfish & inconsiderate of anyone but themselves.
Bridget is determined to make Phillipe hers, but she struggles with this, and this romantic novel captures your interest the ENTIRE TIME. You are desperately clinging to the pages, turning them fast, waiting to see what happens next. I can honestly say I did not want this book to end. I loved it!
