I love historical romances that show relationships between a commoner and a member of the gentry.  Usually, I read about a maid or cook that fall in love with a lord.  This was my First Lady falling for a regular mister.  I really enjoyed it. It had a lot of humor, which I really enjoy in a book.  I loved the wedding scene.I loved the heroine!  She was sweet and spunky.  I loved that she stood up for herself, when most woman would have just taken what they were given.I liked the hero, but I never really understood him.  I'm still not sure why he was afraid of love.  I know he came from a poor background, but I wish the author had given us a bit more information.  I really want to know who Amanda was.  I'm sure you will to, after you get done reading.Even though I liked the story, it seemed to drag.  I found myself fighting the urge to skip ahead.  There was a lot of details about clothing and appearances, but there was not a lot of meat to the story itself.  I felt like we were missing what was truly going on between the H & h.  They barely spoke.  In fact, they only had a handful of true conversations.  So, I am not sure if I believe there was a true love connection between the two.
