Summary: Complicated plot - didn't finish this book
Review: I checked this book out of the library because my wife is named Carolyn. Although the storyline is good, there were so many characters and the plot was so complicated, I finally gave up on it.

Summary: Promising new author
Review: Motivations were confusing and the hero's determination to "humble" the heroine was at times almost painful to read; still, the author has a lovely sense of humor, and the secondary characters--especially the deliciously vulgar Mrs. Morgan--were delightful. I look forward to reading Virtue's Prize, Ms. Beck's next book.
