This was just one of those stories that clicked with me. The narator does a good job of getting the character tones right too. All of them are well rounded, completely dynamic, and non-2dimentional. This book has better developed suporting characters than many of Garwood's other books. In an industry that seems to think that a good romance has to have sex by page 90, this is beyond refreshing. The main characters of the story are maried before they even meet on the pages, though they do not know eachother at all, and there is no actual sex until almost half way through the very large book. Another great element about this book is the low smut level. It has historical elements that really make this one unique, with constant quotes from Shakespere(sp), glamorization of Daniel Boon and Davey Crocket, "Mountain Men", and the eronious belief that if something has been published in a book it has to be true. This is a heartwarming story that starts in a London ballroom and ends in a cabin on a Montana Teritory homestead outside a middle-of-nowhere town.
