This was a very good book - it makes for a slow, leisurely, entertaining read, versus a book that just couldn’t be put down – and I liked that for a change of pace. Can’t say this was an action-packed, adventure-filled, hold your breath kind of book, but it doesn’t make it any less interesting to read.The writing is well done and the character development complex and interesting. Charity makes quite an impression, although she is not the requisite extraordinarily beautiful heroine. Her attraction lies in her competence – she is a wonderful problem-solver. She sees a problem and dives right in to fix things – or people, as she sees the need. She does this deftly and selflessly. She manages her brothers and her neighbors in the village with equal skill and success. She’s just a take charge kind of person, but is not obnoxious about it.Lord Braden certainly has his share of problems and it doesn’t take him long to realize Charity is very good at working things out. While he might not mind her ‘help’ with some of these problems – he is certain HE doesn’t want to be managed. Nor does he want her setting her sights on him, as in marriage. Fortunately for him, Charity doesn’t particularly want a husband – or does she?Lord Braden’s artistic renown doesn’t help him know what to do with a plow, or give him clues to help his grief-stricken widowed sister regain her well-being. Neither does it help him tame his two rambunctious nephews who seem totally out of control, at least to his jaundiced eye. But, Charity knows exactly what to do for all of the overwhelming circumstances, and she proceeds to do it.At this point, you’ll have to read the book. If you like watching relationships nurtured and grow deeper, you’ll like this book. It had some unexpected twists, all of them with satisfactory outcomes and a nice touch of romance. I’d definitely recommend and have, in fact, ordered Rasley’s other books.
