5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, good characters, decent plot..., Nov 17 2001

What more could you ask for?

I wasn't sure I was going to like this one, but once I started reading it, I was unable to put it down.

Miss Maitland's wealthy father wants a title for his daughter. So, he gets her engaged to Paul Clement. Only, Paul has little use for the daughter of a wool merchant. So, his friend Stephen Rutledge begins a pen pal relationship with Lorna Maitland. Through the course of their letters, they fall in love with each other. Lorna thinks she's fallen in love with her fiancee. Stephen knows he has fallen in love with his friend's intended bride.

The main characters are truly likable. Stephen is a strong man - a leader - without being too strong or too competant. He isn't perfect and doesn't want to be.

Lorna is the daugher of a wealthy father. She doesn't take that lightly, but uses her wealth and position to help others.

Does it take her a while to figure out that Stephen wrote the letters and not Paul? Yeah - maybe that was dragged on a bit too far. But than again, without the reader's omnipotant knowledge of the events, how long would it take any of us to figure out what had happened?

This was a fun, well written book. I highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually a pretty good book!, Mar 12 2001

At first I wasn't really sure how good this book would be, but the more I read the more I like! Ms. Kirkland did a wonderful job with description. And she did a great job pulling me into the story and feeling what the characters were feeling. The only problem that I had with the story was that the heroine seemed to me to be blind about her "real" true love. To me it seemed to take a little to long for her to accept the truth of her feelings and figure out that it wasn't her betrothed that wrote her those wonderful letters that she fell in love with but in fact his friend. Overall it was a really good book that completely kept my attention for the entire book. I do recommend this book to many people.
