Very entertaining. This book has a trope that I really dislike, which is that the heroine has been in love with the hero for ages, but he is blind to it, and trying to marry another woman. He considers the heroine a friend and seeks her help with his prospective bride. Even after that falls through, he's such a slow top that he starts looking around for other candidates, STILL not realizing that the perfect woman for him is right under his nose. If this book had been written in a serious vein, I would have gotten totally disgusted and DNF'd it. What made it readable was that it was written as a comedy.
