AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

With fiery red hair and three protective older brothers, 18yo Phoebe has few fears and fewer reservations. If only she could get her brother’s friend to notice her instead of scold her as an honorary, fourth brother. When a new gentleman claims his estate in the area, will the added competition encourage the suit Phoebe’s been waiting for?

Romance-wise, this book is refreshing because there isn’t a dumb misunderstanding that leads the main characters to hate each other before falling in love. Mystery-wise, the story leaves a lot to be desired since the focus is on the romance and the mystery only acts as the backdrop. Overall, the story is well-written; I was simply disappointed by the anti-climactic involvement of the kidnapping drama, though the resolution was better than anticipated.
