This was such a delightful book that really could be read at any time of the year especially if in need of a pick me up. Coming out parties and the like were such funny times to me in those days. The things that were the concern for most women, what to wear, how they looked and catching the attention of that "right" husband material for social standing and the like. My goodness some things still the same and thank goodness some things have changed. What about for love though? Rare occurrence in upstanding families with more than one female to be married off. But in this story something different will happen and that is the joy of reading it. Kitty is the youngest of three girls and her interests were really not the same as her sisters. Finding most of the men too much in the category of boys in her opinion she wants to catch the eye of a man-Roger one of the most eligible and elusive bachelors. Doesn't help she has overheard some not so nice girls say she is to be a spinster and on the shelf either. So how to catch a man's eye and keep it there is the question for her. She must have help (silly girl) and low and behold she finds just the right one to help her-Hugh and he works for her father at the stables. Oh my did I see fun afoot and most likely she will learn more than she dreams. Most enjoyable reading of these lessons and the interaction between them adorable that it warms the heart. Of course while reading I began to root for Hugh and not Roger to win the place in her heart. Humor and romance most fitting read any day. Great supporting interaction from other characters as well including sisters namely Jenny. When it finally is showtime she will find out why he is still single and not so desirable after all and stuff hits the fans. In this game of love winner will take all and there will be no prisoners and just not for Kitty. Great finale included and I was left all warm and cozy when finished with this novel. Received this arc for a honest review.
