His Duty, Her Destiny

What a marvelous read! I was so surprised to find that this book was published by Harlequin. My impression has always been that Harlequin books are inferior. I'm happy to admit that, in this case, I was wrong. Landon has drawn truly memorable, likeable characters. Their relationship is fraught with misunderstandings as the two childhood acquaintances get to know one another again as adults. But, those misunderstandings are not frustrating to read, as is often the case in other books. Landon is such a skillful writer that she develops their relationship in a slow but satisfying way, allowing the reader to understand each of the characters better while the characters themselves are learning more about each other as well. Landon also moves plot along quickly with lots of intrigue and adventure. Very, very good read.
