Customer Reviews

Good, fast read.

For a relatively short novel, this was a really fast, fun read. I liked the author's attention to details, from the fussy little figurine, to the fashions, to Adam's mother's "incredibly pink" decor. And overall, I liked how Penelope and Adam progressed as characters and how they fell in love. I also enjoyed Jem & William's appearances. I wasn't crazy about how the couple met, and how Penny didn't ask many questions before hieing off to Gretna. (And yes, I know she was't incredibly particular about her intended, and a sober Adam probably wouldn't have agreed, but still...) I also thought Adam wasn't a sympathetic character at times, but the author did do a great job of showing that these two characters were human beings, flawed but still believable. If Ms. Merrill writes a book with William, I'm sure to read it, as well.
