Lk Rigel I 100% with you on this! Richard Armitage's Thornton is droolicious … but Mr. Thornton in the book is amazingly complex and endearing. I love the scene where Margaret first serves him tea. The wa he lingers over her refined manners broke my heart. Gah! I have to go read this again!!

KindleObsessed I know. Me too. I usually read it once a year, but I didn't in 2011. Now I feel like I missed out.
