There is a misunderstanding and ruffled feathers at the start of this story- and the h and H have yet to meet!  The h is told by her grandfather that her father and his friend had years ago entered into a pact, each pledging their child for the purposes of matrimony upon each reaching his or her majority.  The h doesn't like the sound of this one bit!  She agrees to go to a party hosted by her would-be future sister-in-law, only the would-be groom fails to appear!  The nerve!  The h leaves in a huff.  The next day she learns that he did finally make an appearance after she left and took advantage of the situation to make rude remarks about her behind her back.  This the last straw!  The h runs away.Well, you can see where this is going.  Of course the hero will either go after her, or somehow run into her while she is on her journey to where ever she is going.  Both characters were interesting and compelling.  I liked their interactions, and the secondary characters were worthwhile, too.This story is on par with the other Chater novels I have read.  If you are a fan of her work, you will enjoy this novel.  If you are new to her work, why not give this book a try?  The price is right.
