Okay, so, this is the book responsible for my obsession with historical romance for the past, well, 18 years. I saw it sitting on the side table while I was babysitting for my hairstylist's kid. I read it over the course of two evenings babysitting. I was forever changed after that! LOL 
 While this book isn't a masterpiece, and reading it now I think to myself...man, why did I love this so much...it's still a fun read. 
 And since it got me hooked on romance, it will always have a place in my heart.
