England 1800s. This is the first in a series, but I read the 2nd book first. Although they were written to stand alone, I think it would have been much more enjoyable to read them in the correct order. There are a few characters that I now say "Oh - that's why" as I read it.
The actual story is very nice. Not my favorite by this author (I love the Slightly series), but a good start for this series. Vanessa (heroine) is extremely "nice" while Elliot is all potential in action. The romance develops nicely and i LOVE that the conflicts are not ones that fester when they could have been easily solved by simply talking. I would recommend this to any who enjoy a good historical romance.
