My review
The book is really funny with some twist which inc blackmail, kidnapping. The H/H are well suited. He thinks she is practical and as she is 24, he thinks she is desperate to marry. He wants a plain, practical wife and slowly he realises that he is so wrong about her. She is not impressed with his proposal as he realises that she wants to be courted and so sets about doing so.
