Holly Farthingale is a young widow who wants nothing to do with remarrying or love. When her cousin hands her the Book of Love, she slips next door to hide the book away and comes across a handsome Joshua Brayden taking a bath in the kitchen. And the Book strikes again, apparently, because I didn't read any of the others in this series.
I usually dislike romances that depend on a magical device to put a couple together and this was no exception. And it didn't make any sense to me that she needed to hide the book next door or that there were no servants in the house that Joshua entered to take his bath (yes, it was his cousin's house, but where was everyone?) It pretty much continued in the same way with a lot of circumstances that wouldn't happen in Regency England.
I'm sure others will enjoy the book; the characters are generally fine, but it wasn't for me. ( )
