I like this author because she writes about unusual places and times. This book takes place in colonial India and is a sensual love story between an Englishwoman and an mixed-race Indian man who's also a single dad. How cool is that?! The writing is lush and the descriptions of Calcultta and Wildwood were a marvel.
The hero is very arrogant, typical of men of his time and the heroine is feisty. I liked her a lot and was rooting for her to figure things out on her own. Alexander does some underhanded things in the name of pride and prejudice, but Emma gives him holy hell for it, which was no less than he deserved.
Overall, a sweet story in a beautiful setting.
