I picked this book simply because it was a Candice Hern novel, and I don't regret it. This book, her first published, is as delightful as her later novels.Emily has always been the proper companion and dutiful spinster who earned her keep. But then she meets Robert, Earl of Bradleigh, who completely throws her life out of whack. When her employer, the dowager Countess and Robert's grandmother, decides to go to London to celebrate Robert's recent engagement, Emily goes along and makes a splash in society. As Emily gains more notice, Robert realizes that he wants out of his engagement to pursue to lovely Emily himself!This book is full of very charming characters that the reader grows to adore. The plot keeps moving and, except for a few long-winded sections, doesn't introspect too much. A few scenes seem contrived and predictable, but the book as a whole is fun to read.
