This is the first work by this author I have read and I can honestly say it will not be the last. Although this was a non-spicy book (read that as no sex scenes whatsoever), it was an excellent story, well written with believable, likable characters. Miss Gracie's character development is superb with both the hero and heroine emerging as not too tortured, etc, etc. Anyone who reads lots of Historical Romance novels will understand that at some point, the reader will ultimately wish to tell the hero/heroine: "Get over yourself, already!". I didn't feel that way with this story. It was touching so that near the end, I actually had tears in my eyes but it was humorous as well and had me laughing out loud at times. And I didn't even miss the lack of spice!

On my personal rating scale of 1-4, I am breaking out and giving this book a 5-star rating!! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good story and especially to those not familiar with Anne Gracie's work.
