A wonderful sequel to Patience, My Dear. I'm hooked on Hiram, Edward, Naomi, and clan and can't wait to continue their drama. OK, so the series of misunderstandings start to become a bit too predictable and at times ridiculous, but it is fiction and it's a great escape. An easy read, and a nice, innocent romance that is actually about love (with some additional crime drama mixed in) and not about sex.
