I won't lie, I don't usually read romances where the characters in it are older than me.  Maybe because I feel like it's hard for me to relate to characters that have reached an age in life that I have no familiarity with.  But I'm so glad that I read The Spinster and the Duke anyway.Poor Abigail and Reginald made my heart ache while I was reading; it was the perfect mix of love, angst and laughter.  Being brave and giving love a second chance is often harder than the first time around, so Reginald has his work cut out for him.I think the thing that I loved the most about this novella was that they were both seemed like real people, with real lives and real heartache.  Minor spoiler alert - Abigail did not save her virginity for Reginald and I cannot express HOW HAPPY that made me.  She's had some affection and love in her life, which is good because she deserved it, and she didn't just sit around waiting for him to come back to her.  Well, she did a little bit, but she still LIVED and that's what made this story worthwhile for me.Such a lovely story... and I must admit, I'm now dying to read the story about her niece!
