Tanya Ann Crosby writes the story of two people who have insecurities and secret dreams hidden in their hearts. They are real people with real heart desires. Each finds the answer to their questions in the other and fall in love in the sweetest way. It's very passionate and very funny. Highly recommended. I've read it a couple of times.

if I were giving this book a grade it would be a C. The story and characters were enjoyable but seemed like your typical fare in many historicals.

One interesting part was that the hero fell hard for the heroine early on but it takes her till almost the end to realize she loves him. I personally did not like the way the author tries to write the Scottish Brogue out in the speaking sentances-I found it hard to decipher and literally headache enducing:)

While the heroine's fiery spirit and pluckiness was fun in the beginning, her increasing pranks and tricks to convince the hero she's "mad" grate on you as the book wears on and turn very immature-so much so that I found I almost disliked her towards the end.

About the only redeeming side in this book was the very sensual love scenes and the more sensible side romance between the heroine's brother and best friend . Though I found it weird that the hero, seeing the heroine in alot of ghoulish make up as she was trying to make him think she's disfigured, he can't help being not attracted to her-but then proceeds to have sex with her anyway!!!

I guess I'm ambivalant whether I liked this book-I had to force myself through the last 40 pages, by then I just wanted then all to grow up and go away:)

This is my mostestesssss favorite book EVER! The characters are both witty and funny at the same time. My problem is that I read it within hours. Was not able to put it down once I picked it up, problem was I was at work at the time. By the time it was time to go home, I had finished it! :( I wanted it to last FOREVER! It had me laughing with tears in my eyes. Most definitely a keeper! I WANT MORE, like this book! Thank you Ms. Tanya Anne Crosby for the gift of your book. :)
