Review: Weak plot with excess detail

I just couldn't like Charity. Seems like she was just about the only person in the village capable of doing anything. Expert parenting skills with no children of her own - check. Ability to cure folks from their doldrums - check. Leaves her London season to mastermind of the Midsummer fest - check. Able to manage her neighbor's households and children charm alone - check. On top of all of this she was "chatty", which means to me that this character will babble for lack of storyline.Tristan was a weak hero and oh so charmed by Charity's abilities. He is amazed that she was not swept up on the marriage mart. He seemed more than happy to let her walk all over him. If there was any romance at all between these two, it came somewhere close to mid-point of the story. But I just couldn't make it that far - even with skimming. Don't know whether I'll give this author a second try. This was not at all my cup of tea.
