Oh, I remember why I love Lisa Kleypas's books! I skipped over the contemporaries so I haven't read one since her last historical, and boy it's good to have her back. This novel is beautifully written and moving as it shows two people reluctantly drawn together despite themselves (and circumstances). It's a tribute to her skill that even when the characters behave badly I still rooted for them. The secondary characters are all wonderfully realized too, warts and all so to speak. I can't wait for the next volume....
