This is a fascinating story about a spinster who is on the shelf (Lady Calpurnia) and a lord (Gabriel) who is a rake. The beautiful thing about this book is the fact that both characters grow and change. It is their interactions with each other that causes each to look at life differently. This isn't one of those books with the characters kissing in the first few pages and moving quickly on to the bedroom.

These people are like us; they change as they grow more aware. The reader sees the progression of each person's growing awareness of the other. Readers come to know the characters as the characters come to understand themselves.

My only complaint was the ending. It seemed rather abrupt. Otherwise, I loved the book.
