Emily Greenwood does a wonderful job of luring the reader into the lives of the hero and heroine. She captured and kept my attention from the initial scene of Felicity falling in the creek to the very end with living in a tent in Spain with eyes toward bigger things to come. All the way to the end, Ms. Greenwood delights the reader with a touch of mischief and humor. Best of all she infuses a heartwarming love that leaves the reader feeling all is coming right for the two characters that came into their own. Great entertainment!
