Review: Probably a good book for fans of fairy tales

I agree with the heroine.... "This is ridiculous. Unbelievable."The writing is good, but not as good as the author's other works which I thoroughly enjoyed. While the dialogue occasionally seemed stilted, the plot and characters are excellent. I liked Sir Nathan as a hero and feisty Vanessa as a heroine. The premise of them meeting when Vanessa's grandmother asks Nathan to discover Vanessa's secret is very interesting. The first three-fourths of the book is promising, but when Nathan inserts himself into Vanessa's secret it fell apart for me. I think he would have followed her and confronted her rather than pushing his way in. And as Vanessa says, the resolution is "ridiculous" and "unbelievable."  I would have preferred a slightly different solution which I won't specify so as not to give away the secret. This is an OK book but I require a lot of logic in my stories (I really dislike fairy tales). This book will probably appeal to readers who are more easily swept away by fairy tales and find them delightful.Though this book did not match my tastes, I really enjoyed the author's other storiesA Heartless Design (Secrets of the Zodiac),Love Is Blind - A Regency Romance (Secrets & Second Chances), andA Winter's Knight - A Regency Romance. I'm sure I'll read more of her books in the future.
