I picked up this book from the library for a quick, light, fluffly read to get my mind off of my A&P class. This was not what I expected. It felt that it dragged on and on and on.

Everyone else seemed to be up and outside, busy driving the wooly parade down the lane into the enclosure. The knots of tension were still in her neck. Dinner la...
She hadn’t felt this nervous since her wedding night, after her mama had finally clued her in as to what Sir Joseph would expect of her. Juliet could remember recoiling with absolute horror that such a thing was even possible between humans, although as a country miss, she...
