I did not like this book. About halfway through it, I considered giving up on it, but as I was stuck with nothing else to read, I continued with it. The book seemed to have no actual plot, until the second half when the author seemed to throw in some half-hearted attempts at suspense. The heroine came off as either too young and naive or too knowledgable and unladylike. It seemed to go back and forth between those extremes. To me, the hero seemed like he ended up with her only because she was handy, and his first love betrayed him. I wasn't fond of any of the secondary characters. I found her brother to be something of a jerk, and his family all seemed to be crazy. The ending was a bit over the top, but I was glad to see it end. Overall, I gave it 2 and half stars, as I have read much better, and much worse.
