I absolutely LOVED this book.  Even though I usually take a star off for typos I just couldn't do it for this book.  I have read almost all of this authors books, and I just deal with the typos because I like her stories...but this one tops them all I think.  I loved the characters, and loved how they worked through their relationship issues, and "the TON" .  It is humorous at times, and in the beginning you won't like the lead female character but you will fall in love with her by the end of the book.  This story is no ho-hum hum drum story...it is complex, not in the telling, but in all that is going on.  It is not "boy meets girl, they fall in love and THE END"...IT shows insight into human character and relationships.  I truly just loved this one so much I cannot say enough about it.I just wish Delle would get with the program regarding editing.  Almost all of her typos seem to be the result of re-writing...words left out, extra words put in...I can sense when that happens by how the errors show up it is from a re-phrasing of a sentence.  Delle works at crafting well thought out sentences, but then she doesn't read it over (and apparently no one does) to make sure she has fixed the ENTIRE sentence.  I can recognize it because I do the same thing myself when I re-write something in an email or WORD document...I will make changes to the sentence, but neglect to go back and re-read the entire thing to make sure I have fixed all the parts of the sentence (or paragraph at times) that need to be changed due to my re-write.  I really suspect that is the problem with MOST (but not all) of Delle's typos.  This book clocked in at a whopping 24 mistakes that needed fixing...but I will put up with Delle Jacobs as I really like her stories, and the fact that she makes you feel like you really are in "Old England" as opposed to some authors who write the stories in modern American language.  It is obvious Delle knows knows historical England.  Every word I looked up was in the kindle dictionary and pertinent to the time period.Another thing I like about Delle is she offers all her books on Prime, so each month I borrow another book from her.I may be sorry for that some day as I will probably want to re-read some of them LOL but I guess I can borrow them again when I do.  She is listed in my very small collection of "good authors" in spite of her horrible record with typos.If you read no other book from Delle Jacobs, I suggest you read this one...you may want to read the rest of them too after you read this one.  Another great Delle Jacobs book to be surePLEASE DELLE  -----HIRE AN EDITOR!!!!!!
