What you may enjoy:

This is an enjoyable, lazy day read. If you want a clean romance and like Jane Austen era, look no further. This book is for you. The setting is quaint and the writing is a good fit for the genre.

What you may NOT enjoy:

The story is predictable. There are weak components in the book, such as the unbelievable characterization of Kate’s family, and Kate herself is often unbearably annoying.

Warnings:

Romance and Nudity:

Describes a man wearing nothing but wet pants; man and woman kiss (descriptive but not graphic, 3 times)
