Summary: Enjoyable... and a bit tedious at the same time!
Review: This was an enjoyable book, although the plot wasn't stong enough to carry it for the entire 386 pages!! Here's Tibbie, a woman who insists on spending the rest of her life living as an old woman, in order to gain a small amount of respect from the community that knows of her one mistake. When the handsome Nick comes to town, insisting on calling on Tibbie - even when she so humorously demands his attention is unwanted. The two provide some hilarious entertainment in each and every violent encounter. When it starts to look like Tibbie resistance is wearing down, and she's moving closer to Nick... her old lover returns claiming his love for her. Tibbie must then decide who is the right man for her, if any...

Although the story could easily have been told in about half as many pages, the writer does provide some entertaining communications and unique characters along the way. At times, Tibbie's confusion gets a bit tedious... sometimes you just want to yell "enough already!" But all in all, it was an enjoyable read, and quite funny at times. The characters are all charming, and the urgency at the final outcome, is quite entertaining. There were a few things that were left unanswered for me... like the result of the last meeting of Mairi and Porter. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't even a mention, where it was obvious one needed to be provided.

Summary: Delicious ,Sweet and Funny
Review: Tibbie Buchanan was a heavenly beauty, yet some still whispered about her sins. Her glorius honey-colored hair wouldn't stay hidden under her bonnet. Her drab dresses couldn't hide her alluring curves. Once she'd loved a man who'd ruined healer.Now a gifted healer and herbalist, an angel to the sick, she swore she'd never surrender to passion again.

Life on the frontier had taught Nick MacKinnon some hard lessons. Orphaned yound, he'd left Texas to learn a ship builder's trade. Richer , lonlier, he came back to realize his dream - a sea going dynasty. And now Tibbie was part of that dream. But Tibbie had loved before, had known the sting of betrayal, the burden of shame. She would flee from love and imprisoned in the past, an exquisite Angel in Marble. (Text taken from book cover)

I loved this book- it is sweet and so funny. It will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Usually i prefer books with more action and advneture and more passion , while this one is quite milder than my typical romance reads i was not disapointed at all. You'll get hooked with the character's - each with their own unique personality. Both the main characters are precious but there's no doubt that granny and Beth will steal some hearts too. While also making you giggle regularly. Believe me, read this book -its worth it!!
