The Elusive Miss Ellison by Carolyn Miller
5.0
4.5
I really enjoyed that the hero was not a stellar man to begin with, and even after his conversion he didn't turn into the best man ever. I like real flawed characters finding someone to love them as they are...and to be turned into better people because of them. That's essentially me and the hubby, we weren't that great before we met each other, we might not be that great now, but we're better for loving each other.
There were a few things at the end that confused me on how they fit. Such as after the hero found out who the heroine's grandmother was he said he lost all hope of being with the heroine yet the story went on as if he still held out hope...so there was some manufactured tension I think, but it didn't keep me from turning pages and wanting to see their happily ever after. Loved the scene where they got it, though I wish we got an epilogue since the happily ever after came so late. Here's hoping book #2 fulfills my wish for the epilogue.
