I must start this review by saying I'm not a big fan of historical romance, but this book is definitely an exception. I was hooked by the end of the first page. Cassandra, the main character, isn't like most women in novels. She is sturdy and smart. Definitely not a damsel in distress like most romance characters. Sure she has problems, but she tackles them head-on. Her cousin reminds me of Nellie from Little House on the Prairie, and yes the aunt reminds me of Mrs. Olson. I found myself cheering Cassandra and Phillip on in their quest for the dowery. I just can't say enough about this book. I read it in two days I was so hooked!!! There is enough romance and adventure that it doesn't get boring. It is definitely a must-read.
Fabulous, simply fabulous

Impetuous was a great romance novel. Instead of having the leading lady,Cassandra, be of great beauty and an innocent (like almost every romance novel), the leading lady of this book is not really beautiful, but of course, she is still an innocent. Cassandra is a very good character that the modern day woman can enjoy, without wondering, "What was the author thinking?" Sir Philip,the leading man, loved Cassandra even though she isn't beautiful, which makes his love for her even more meaningful. Read this book, I can assure that you'll enjoy the great characters and wonderful plot. And if you enjoyed this book read: Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught
