I really enjoyed this book, I liked Eleanor who was no way as mild and reserved as people thought, nor was she plain. John was awesome and I liked how he fell in love with Eleanor or Ellie almost without realizing it. At first she was just a way for him to gain acceptance into NY society, and he had enough money to purchase her from her father. This isn't as bad as it sounds because her father arranges for John to be introduced to his daughter and entrance to the society events, etc. Then it is up to John to get Ellie to marry him.Eliie's mother is a snob and determined to marry her daughter to a penniless English baronet, Sir Alfred Farnsworth. You don't really get to know him, but I didn't like him. I also didn't like her mother, whose social position was more important to her then her daughter's happiness.This was well written, a really sweet romance and definitely worth reading. I will be reading more books by Christine Dorsey based on this one.
