This is the first book I have read by the author Cheryl Bolen.  If this is any indication of what her romance books are like I will be reading all of them.  His Lordship's Vow is the kind of romance story I love to read.  It is a shame that I cannot find any modern romance books where the same values prevail.  I love reading love stories where the hero and heroine fall in love before any sex occurs.  One reviewer wrote that she was glad there are no sex scenes written in this book, but I would not have minded it at all if it is written in good taste and occurs after they fall in love.  It was lovely to read about the wedding at the end.  What is passing for romance novels today is really about lust and superficial love based on the extraordinary looks of the heroine.  It is entirely possible for a handsome man to fall in love with a women who is not drop dead gorgeous, but pretty in her own right.  It is one of the reasons I loved the last 2 episodes of The Vicar of Dibley where the handsome stranger played by Ricahrd Armitage falls in love with and marries Dawn French who plays the vicar.I liked that Jane Featherstone was plain, but I wish it was not written about as if there is something wrong with being plain.  I am sure that Miss Featherstone is pretty in her own right.  I love that even though Miss Featherstone is an innocent she is not stupid, but smart and thinks for herself.All in all this is a great short romance story and I highly reccommend it.  This book is more than worth the price.
