The last line of the epilogue was just great. The ending was nice and wasn't rushed like some historical romances I've read. The following scene with the dinner rolls was fun too. One of my favorite scenes is where Charlotte tells Rothington that she told her mother he was just like Uncle Herbert (you'll have to read to find out why) and that's why her mother changed her attitude towards him. The heroine was smart with the perfect amount of sarcasm, cheekiness, and a hint of ditziness blended together. I liked how Parker had the hero be both a take charge seducer and a lovesick gentleman. It was full of humor, heated stares, a couple of instances of failing to tell the whole truth, and of course a bunch of wicked thoughts. I actually forgot he was an earl as the story wasn't so much about his (or her) status. The story started out bit slow and the hero's attitude in the first chapter was a bit confusing, but once Charlotte and the Earl of Rothbury's, or Rothbury as he is called throughout the book, "friendship" got going it was a delightful read. (Read the product description to find out more) It was worth the $6.99 plus tax I paid for it. The title caught my eye and when I read the description it sounded really good so I bought it. It's the first eBook as well as the first Olivia Parker novel I've read.

If it was not for Sarah Hale’s stubbornness and persistence in the 1800s, you would likely have to attend school instead of celebrating Thanksgiving with 2 days off in November.
