Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-28 00:00:00 James Gaugs There was a lot I liked about this book and the characters. I thought the children were rather well done, neither perfect angels nor spoiled demon-brats, but kids thinking and acting like real kids do. However, somewhere in the middle things seemed to bog down, and a bunch of idiotic non-sense occurred just to drag out the story too long for my taste. How does it make any sense that the kids find Charity's mail hidden among the cook's possessions and Charity isn't curious enough to bother reading the letters? Hey, if someone said he found letters addressed to you in someone's room, wouldn't you want to read them real quick? I also get so sick of that same old/same old, worn out, run down, retire it already, stale plot device of silly complications caused by characters simply not spitting out normal communications that any vaguely normal person would have spit out, and then the writer going to even more ridiculous extremes trying to justify why the characters aren't communicating or acting like sane people would. By now you would think romance writers would have read enough romance novels to learn that deception between lovers never accomplishes anything, except to ruin an otherwise good romance novel.
