It was a "road" book, as the hero and the heroine's brother help the heroine run away from her guardian, who has arranged an unwanted marriage for her. The adventure was run, and I liked the sense of fun the that heroine exhibited, taking a lot in her stride.

The villain turned out not to be so terribly villainous, and the unwanted bridegroom wasn't so bad either after all, so it wasn't too melodramatic. This is definitely going on my "keeper" shelf.
