Rating: Summary: Looked forward to reading this each night Review: While the story has a somewhat bumpy start that to me was not too interesting, all that changes when the gracious and personable Joanna arrives at Wakefield. The story might be somewhat predicatable in that she reaches the heart of Guy first through his child and secondly with her warm devotion to his servents and finally with her unaffected smile and personality.It might seem a bit melodramatic to have Lydia come sailing into the book, but that was necessary to give a little conflict to the story. And in the end, she got her just desserts for the way she had treated everyone and acted over the past few months. There was the grandeur of the British country house, the comeradie of the housestaff and the friendships and trust that Joanna had with the groom, Ran's mother and of course little Miles. In other words, the book had everything to make it a fast read, but a wonderfully enjoyable one. It was a book that I thoroughly enjoyed and made me want to dig out my other Katherine Kingsley's that I have stashed away.

Rating: Summary: Loved it and highly recommend it Review: With each book I read of Katherine Kingsley I become a bigger fan. This book was no exception. It is so nice to read a story where the characters react to a difficult situation the same as your instincts dictate. This book was full of fun, laughs and a few cries, all in all very well worth the time.
