What an enjoyable read!Some of the reviews here have complained about the lack of steam...I say not so.  There's more to romance than a step-by-step description of what happens behind a bedroom door.  There is so much tension and desire between the two characters that ISN'T acted upon that when their lips finally meet in a kiss it is spectacular.  There is much to be said for creating romance by what ISN'T said or done rather than what is.The hero, a magnificently proper soldier-turned-newly-named-earl fights a torturous inner struggle when faced with his beautiful, irritating, countrified ward.  Trying desperately to make her adhere to proper behavior, he gives her an ever-growing list of rules, listing such things as "a lady does not pick locks" or "a lady does not climb down trellises."  Those should give you an idea of some of the antics in this book.Besides being a beautiful, romantic story, this book is funny.  Yes, it is delightfully silly at times with witty banter and ridiculously humorous moments.  I loved it.  It made me laugh, made me cry, made me get all dreamy-eyed.....a success for sure.
