The description on the book jacket made me slightly uneasy -- it made it sound like Abby blackmailed Jack into marrying her, a "marry me or die" kind of thing. I'm so grateful I decided to read it anyway. It wasn't that way at all.
Both Abby and Jack are wonderful, well-developed characters who I really enjoyed reading about. They take their time getting to know one another; they talk to each other and they come to trust one another. Slowly and gradually, they fall in love -- their relationship felt very real and solid to me, more so than most romance novels, because of the time they took to get there.
The magical subplot -- healing Jack, the prejudice against wizards and witches in this version of England, etc -- was just an added bonus. Great fun, and an excellent read!
