The Artful Heir (Signet Regency Romance)

Rating:
Summary: I really enjoyed reading this book. I think you will, too.
Review: This is the first Martha Kirkland book I have read and I enjoyed it very much (so much that I even re-read some of my favorite scenes!). Sarah is a spunky girl and Matthew Donaldson likes that. Even though he is drawn to her (and she to him), he feels that she's way above him since he only sees himself as a soldier who only came into his inheritance by chance, and she's a lady. She, of course, thinks he's way above her and tells herself not to fall in love with him. Well, the inevitable happens but not until almost the very last page do they both realize how the other feels. To add spice to the story, there's a question of whether the art Sarah has come to restore and catalogue is being stolen and/or replaced, and who is the culprit? There are some tense moments when the "culprit" is revealed and Sarah searches for Matthew who has disappeared. I couldn't put this book down. If you like romances with a happy ending, get this book.
