These 90s HRs are much longer than modern HRs. Whew! Still going, still some complications to come before Ian and Elizabeth get their HEA.

There are some very funny scenes in this one, for example with Elizabeth's butler who is addicted to mystery novels. He takes a dislike to Ian, and keeps slamming the door in his face or trying to slip something in his drink to upset his stomach. Slightly slapstick, but fun.

I'm enjoying this reread after some years. I'd forgotten how funny this book is. The scenes with Jake and the horse. Jake and Elizabeth attempting to cook breakfast. LOL. But still a LOT of pages to go. There have to be further complications coming.....

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" he asked.... she suppressed a worried impulse to reply, 'Do you have any idea how intelligent I am?"
Hahaha.

I'm going to try rereading after some years. I gave it 3 stars when I first listed it on GR, but my memory of reading it is more like 4 stars. I do remember loving the house party incident when Elizabeth and Ian first meet. Can't remember much else except they go to a cottage in Scotland LOL. I can't remember it being so looong. 500+ pages. Eek! We'll see whether I still like this 90s style.
