What a delightful read! 
 I have decided to embark on a romance binge and what a way to start. This is the first of Lisa Kleypas' books that I have read and I will definitely be reading more of her work! 
 Funny, witty and incredibly charming. The characters are well rounded and the story line utterly engaging. Just what I needed! I probably smiled throughout most of the book. Thankfully I live alone so no one was here to tell me how dopey I looked. 
 Simon Hunt? Swoon worthy for days. I'm pretty sure that he was inspired by Rhett Butler, need I say more? Annabelle is strong, smart and shrewd - a delightful but dangerous combination in this historical setting.
