Slow moving at first, but ultimately rewarding. If you are in the mood for lots of excitement and action, this may not be the book for you. However, if you appreciate beautifully crafted prose, and excellent character building in a story that revolves around the hero and heroine slowly getting to know each other in a quiet country setting, and becoming better people in the process, you will appreciate this story. I must admit, it took me a while to get into it. However Cecilia Grant writes so well it's hard to believe this is her first published novel. She is so original and subtly humorous, that I was eventually drawn in. Even the bedroom scenes are quite funny at times, with the heroine starting off as somewhat of a prude, but eventually loosening up. I grew to love Martha and Theo, the two main characters. Plus, she set up a plot that made an HEA seem almost impossible, yet the problem was solved in a realistic way. I'll be reading her next books for sure.
