Reviews

[Ellyn (Mrs. Darcy in my Dreams) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This has a bit of a cliff hanger. We are left not knowing what happens to the crazy OW! I really wanted the h to go to her job in Paris. When she was driving, I kept saying, “Keep going, don’t stop!” But she turned around and went back!

Found in the quarter box at a local thrift store. Set in Wales, with a castle and a hotel for settings and mountains as backdrop, and contemporary problems for the couple-to-be. An enjoyable read with more than average avifaunal knowledge shown (this is not essential to the plot, just something I appreciate).
