The reason I bought the book was the perfectly scrumptious dress pictured on the front. It is truly a fantasy dress - love stories are not my usual reading and it was obvious that's what this was. I finally got around to reading it and I'll have to say it's a good story and I'm getting the next book. Elizabeth, who is truly a good girl, has the unfortunate experience of falling in love with the stable guy and being betrothed to someone she doesn't love for financial reasons. This someone doesn't love her either. To make matters worse, her best friend does love him and her sister comes to love him as well. It would be a triangle plus one, but not the only one, then theres another triangle with Elizabeth, the stable guy and her maid. A true mess. It all takes place in the late 1800's. Elizabeth's family is part of the high society group the Astor's are part of but their father has died and it turns out they are about to go broke.
