Mireya, I don’t know if I fell in love with Thomas, but already I like him much more than Jack. Jack just seemed so insubstantial- I agreed with Amelia who thought he was too charming. Thomas, however, reminds me a bit of a Lisa Kleyas hero, maybe that’s why I like him so much.

The review pretty much matches my thoughts on the book. It took me a bit to get “into” the story as well. Additionally, am I the only one who fell in love with Thomas??? Oh, and I just saw the cover… can we say yummola?

I’m about half way through this one, and although I think parts of it are cute, I don’t think it’s great. The characters are pretty forgettable, IMO, except for the grandmother who’s such a beeyotch and is in so much of it, that she’s pretty much ruining the story for me.

I have this one on my PDA to read while traveling this weekend, but now I’m thinking I’ll save it and wait for the second one so I can read them back-to-back. Interesting to see reactions both positive and negative. At least no one’s comparing it to On the Way to the Wedding…..

Ciara Ann, perhaps the second book will show everything. I especially want to know why Thomas and his grandmother loathe each other.

Orannia – from what I’ve heard, the next book (Mr. Cavendish) is the same story told from Thomas’s POV (which we didn’t ever get in this book). I believe it’s due out in September.

I didn’t really like this one. I think more back story was required to better explain the characters actions, especially the grandmother.

Nope Ciara, you’re not alone. I liked The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever too (although The Viscount Who Loved Me is still my favourite). I’m really looking forward to reading The Lost Duke of Wyndham, although it usually takes my local library a little time after release to purchase a book.

Jayne – is the second book set after The Lost Duke of Wyndham or at the same time please? (I gathered from your review the second book is from Thomas’ POV.)
