I loved this book and stayed up all night to finish it. There was a lot of character development for Jason and Wynn (the main characters). At first, I didn't really like Jason - I thought he was wimpy, unimaginative, uninteresting, and without ambition or direction for his life. He depended too much on his older sister to do everything for him, even to find and woo a wife for him. I didn't think there was much to Wynn's personality or character either. She seemed to have tunnel vision, and it was hard to tell whether she was strong because of her passion for her field of study/interest or weak because of her allowing herself to be used and bullied by her cousin, who was also her fiance. The story puts these two together on a trip across Europe, where they face many challenges and hardships. Over the course of this journey, I fell in love with them as individuals and as a couple. Jason, in particular, grew and developed a stronger sense of direction and determination for his life and who he wanted to be as a person. He was pulled outside of his comfort zone - the mapped out life of being a Duke - to being a commoner who had to depend upon his own wits and hard work to survive. It was so much fun to watch these two develop such a strong affection and loyalty to each other and watch their relationship grow. I really wanted their relationship to work out and wondered how that would be possible since Jason was engaged to another very likable woman. I couldn't lay the book down until I found out how and if they got together in the end. The story was fun and had lots of humor added in to go along with the adventure and love story.
