Customer Reviews

My favorite romance novel, ever!

I absolutely love this book; my copy is all disheveled from years of being read and reread. The characters are the best - they seem like real people, only maybe a bit more likable. This book is also pretty funny. You will fall in love with Connor and Kat. Perfect mind candy for the bathtub after a long day!

Unexpected romance between two people sworn off love.

A young widow, Kat had had enough of marriage with her drunken husband. Connor had enough "wedded bliss" with his late wife too. But why does he stiffen up with disapproval with each proposal of marriage made to Kat, even though they are all quickly refused? Why should he even THINK of proposing to her? What with all her worthy causes, business interests, and political aspirations, she wouldn't even look at him twice! Would she?Kat's strong character and stubborn but loving nature make her an ideal heroine. Although the book seems overlong in places, the comical situations make it worthwhile. One is left wishing one could still aspire to being a "Chicago girl" recruited for marriage to the desperate miners in the mining town of Breckinridge, Colorado.
