Summary: Fun read
Review: In a move to prove that he believed all women were alike and not worth his time, Captain Samson Fairbourne pens a description of the perfect, obidient, beautiful wife, puts it into a bottle and throws it into the ocean. Soon after orphan Polly Bray finds the bottle and is washed out to sea.

When Samson and his men find Polly they first believe she is not alive and a man. They soon find out otherwise. Determined to prove that all women are alike and are only after money and gifts he starts a wager with his cousin to prove his point. They will dress Polly up and pamper her to see how she changes.

Determined not to change, Polly refuses to wear the beautiful dresses Samson buys for her. Regardless of her dress, Samson soon finds himself falling in love with Polly and Polly is drawn to Samson. But neither will declare their love.

Miranda Jarrett has written a fun and exciting colonial story set in the 18th century. Samson is an interesting character and Polly is fun and lively. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Jarrett.
