I picked this book up because the last (and only) Jackie Ivie book I read rated one of the very few 5 stars I have given a light romance. Having loved "A Knight in White Satin" so much, I thought to read more of Ivie's work. Proof that life is never consistent...
The last third of this book is the ONLY thing that saved this from a 1 to 2 star rating. The first 2/3 of the story was so brainless and silly, I was tempted to just chuck it. I'm glad I kept going because the writing and plot actually rose enough at the end to make it somewhat interesting. The most delightful part of the book was the heroine, herself. Sybil was just eccentric enough to be highly entertaining. She was so different than any other women I have read in HR that - even with the ridiculous first half - she gave me a reason to continue. Kudos for the heroine! While the story itself never could climb above average, at least it didn't end up in the atrocious pile.
