He has no diesire to manage the estate or the tenants who live there. Because the estate is not modernized the servents and tenants have to work extra hard to do their jobs.

My Thoughts

This book was everything I hoped it would be. Mrs. Kleypas has the ability to make you want to step back in that time and live in it. The writing was flawless I enjoyed everything about this book such as: the descriptions, emotions, and the characters, and last their was the delightful pet pig named hamlet.

"I'm sorry", Grace said again
Tears burning instead of anger
she expected, he simply reached
out and swept her into his arms.
"Sweet God Grace, I thought
we lost you" she clung to him
greatful for his warmth the solid
feel of his body.


                     

Review #1

                                                                            Lily and the Major
                                                                           ( Otphan Train #1 )
                                                                         By Linda Liael Miller






                                                                                     

Summary

Lily and her sisters were given up by their mother and they ended up on the Oprah train. They were all adopted by different people and Lily vowed to find her sisters one day.

Plot

The book started out frailty well I loved her strength and I liked it he fact that she spoke her mind without hesitation and was clear about what she wanted. When the ( hero ) cable Halliday comes intoQ her life it is turned upside down. Cable is instantly drawn to het and refuses to get out of her life. I didn't like Cable at first because the was pushy, and arrogant and he insulted her right from the start. He though "love" and or "marriage" was to risky for ones heart that!s why he didn't want that. His world changed when Lily went head to head with him. Refusing to give up on her dreams or her independence to become his mistress.

I enjoyed the dialogue and the quarreling between them it was entertaining until chapter 15. From then on they kept comming back to the same issue over and over again and it became annoying

   

My Thoughts

I though I wold like this book more than I did but it felt short of what I though it could be there were parts that I liked and didn't like. The hero was an alpha male, but not in the way that I love. He only though about himself and only wanted one thing from Lily. As the story continues and it is obvious that they have feelings for each other, now it was Lily turn to be stubborn and not know what she wanted. One moment she wanted him and the next she doesn't want to give up her independence

Her face softened. "Your comforting it, though, aren't you? You've changed your entire

lifefor it." Devon shrugged Casually. " it's not as though I had something better to do."

"It's not easy for you, however." A faintly apologetic smile whisked across her lips. " I don't 

always remember that." Lowering her head, she resumed her work on the pencil.
