This is a short little book, about a 2 - 3 hour read.  It is also a simple book but enchanting in its simplicity.  The author tells this story compactly and economically and does not clutter it up with the overblown prose and unnecessary dramatics that characterize so many romance authors today.  There are no lords or ladies and thankfully no dukes!  Henry and Jemima are of different social classes and they act that way.  There is no farfetched story to cover why a poor girl acts and speaks like an aristocrat because she doesn't.  No one's life is threatened, no one is kidnapped, and the main characters fall in love long before they fall in lust.  The author's note at the end of the story is a sweet and poignant surprise.
