delightful Victorian romance

"Never mind her heart. She had her dignity. Sometimes that was all a lady did have when everything else was gone." This was just the book I needed to bring back the fun in historical romance. I haven't read the first three books in the series but did not feel that I missed anything (I will go back and read the others soon). Though the book doesn't lean heavily on historical facts, the atmosphere and culture of Victorian society was delightfully portrayed. Meg was absolutely adorable and lovable - her stutter, self-deprecating humor, keen intelligence, and peace-loving heart made her an excellent heroine. It was easy to see why Ivo would fall in love with her. Ivo - the gallant, worldly, and future-minded gentleman - was fun to get to know. The star-crossed lovers theme was well-played in the plot and seeing Meg and Ivo mature was gratifying. If you enjoy tender Victorian romance, this book is definitely for you. I received the book from the publisher/author and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
