Verklaringen
Linkmeister: Miles Vorkosigan woos Ekaterin in his own way. The book leans heavily on the form created by Georgette Heyer. It's even DEDICATED to "Jane, Charlotte, Georgette, and Dorothy." A true comedy of manners.
kgodey: I don't think this one would be as good if we didn't have tons of books preceding it where Miles fails to acquire his Lady Vorkosigan (and rightly so). But I can't add the whole series to the list, so this will have to do.
Merryann: This was the first Bujold book I ever read and I found it delightful in so very many ways. The love story was deeply satisfying to me and the humor just right.

eowynfaramir, ahef1963,merrystar
Verklaringen
eowynfaramir: Eowyn (a strong woman) and Faramir (a gentle and educated warrior) find love in Gondor while the fate of the West is decided in Mordor. Don't watch the movie! Read the Return of the King and you will appreciate their small love story in the midst of a great war.
