There were many enjoyable moments in this book and lovely scenes that made me sigh with happiness between the heroine and her hero. These kept me going. My main gripe is the thoughtless way this lady makes decisions. Intelligence should not go wandering when a young woman wishes to be independent. In fact, it requires logic and sound thinking to pull off that kind of lifestyle- this heroine didn't have any.Her temper may have led her down the wrong path on more than one occasion but when she found herself in a difficult position, *recognized* help when it was offered- help that was obviously the right answer and *still* would not accept it I was disgusted. An independent feather brain isn't admirable.And a pet peeve- her nephew came to her for help and was angered when things weren't sorted to his liking. He had some nerve. She went through a lot for him- I do admire her courage. She certainly deserved better in this quagmire than she got. Then again, her own foolishness should have led to much worse.I did think the hero was swoon-worthy, though. The author did an excellent job creating an intriguing image of the gentleman and he never fell short. Although I was a little disconcerted by the amount of attention payed to fashionable wear- it would have been enough to say he was impeccably dressed...?I agree with a previous reviewer- this story gives the impression that an independent woman needs looking after. How depressing.
