I was sick and this was available at the digital library. I actually liked it better than the other two books I've read of Ms. Quinn's. The premise was admittedly far-fetched, but the characters were likeable and imperfect and the dialog was funny and quick. I didn't understand Thomas's character at all ((view spoiler)[ Did he love Grace? Did he love Amelia? Why was he dragging his feet about marriage? Why was he so weird en route to Ireland? (hide spoiler)]), but that was a pretty minor complaint.
