There is no going wrong with a Maureen Driscoll book! I'm halfway through reading it again and I love it now just as much as I did when I read it the first time! No, I take that back - I love it more. Why? Because as she's woven together the lives of the Kellingtons through five books, I've come to love her writing and these characters as if they were my own family. When she's finished writing the Kellingtons, I think I'll feel a little lost. The family is fun, romantic, lovable, and that's all evident in book one - this book. Maureen's writing simply gets better with every novel, but this one holds a special place for me. I'm withholding one star only because at the end I lost a little of the romantic connection. The story itself ends on a great note, with the happily ever after every love story should have. The romantic connection between the two primary characters just took a backseat at the end in order to come to a "timely" conclusion in terms of pages. But the love of Ned and Jane is most definitely proven within the novel and is shown throughout the rest of the Kellington series. Buy it! Read it! Then buy the rest! You most definitely will not regret it!
