I was going to say more but I fear it would ruin the story for you. This like her other books is delightful! I love the cover. Happy Reading! ReadingGenie

Tabitha Herbert seems to be everything one would expect in a rector's daughter. She is prim, proper, and all that is kind. Her father, knowing that she adores books, asked her if she would like to catalogue the dashing baron's new book collection. Of course Tabitha agrees! Not only does she love literature of all kind, but she would love to spend some time around the lord, himself. Hugh, Lord Latham, has resigned himself to settling down and producing an heir with Lady Susan, even though he feels no love for her. Yet as he spends time with Tabitha he discovers that he is attracted to her. They have so much in common. But Hugh buckles under pressure and the announcement of his pending marriage with Lady Susan is announced. Tabitha is left with such a strange feeling to that announcement that she impulsively accepts a proposal from another man. Now Tabitha and Hugh are both engaged to marry, but to the wrong people and no way to bow out. What to do? **** Author Emily Hendrickson delights readers with a story that is simple, sweet, and aims to please. No treason or major back stabbing. This is the type of story that really COULD have happened so long ago. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
