A Touch of Charm

I thought the story line was great, and in some ways, I liked the 2ndary story line (about the former alcoholic & the once upstairs maid) just as well, if not better. The only thing I did not like in this book was the heroine's thoughts on what she would do if she were to find out she was pregnant ... would she visit The Blue House for an abortion? Her thinking was way ahead of her time, but this really bothered me. She loved Will enough to marry him as long as he loved her back, but she would not consider having his baby out of wedlock? Then later in the book, he interprets what he thought she said as her feeling that she was not really pregnant. Also, I got a bit tired of Will at times, his attitude of his campaign coming first at all costs, of not having a wife so his campaign would come first in his life, etc. Even stubborn Charisma got past her attitude of being single forever. It took him till the very last pages of the book to realize, let along admit, he loved the chit. Oh, brother! But really, it is a very good book. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it about a 9.7. Most definitely good reading.
