Extended description

Noble Britton suffered greatly at the hands of his first wife, and he refuses to fall into the same trap again. This time he intends to marry a quiet, biddable woman who will not draw attention to herself or cause scandal. Gillian Leigh’s honest manner and spontaneous laughter attract him immediately. It matters little that she is accident-prone; he can provide the structure necessary to guide her.

But unconventional to the tips of her half-American toes, his new bride turns the tables on him, wreaking havoc on his orderly life. Perpetually one step behind his beguiling spouse, Noble suffers a banged-up head, a black eye, and a broken nose before he realizes Gillian has healed his soul and proven that their union is no heedless tumble, but the swoon of true love.

Review by: Kimberley Winterbottom on March 10, 2012 :
While adore Katie's other books this is the first one that just dragged for me. I truly couldn't appreciate the heroine, I love the empowered smart if occasionally silly women they almost without fail strike a cord with me. But not this one I haven't in fact been able to bring myself to finish this book. Maybe I'll try again in a few weeks and have a different outlook. I can't say enough good things about all of the other story lines however.

This book was GREAT. From the first couple of pages during which the heroine is introduced I was hooked. I loved the interactions between the main characters and the progression of their relationship, which has it's good share of romantic intimacy, laughter and tears. Definately recommend this book, I also found out there a couple of other books written by this author about the heroine's cousin and another about the hero's best friend, definately going to the read them as well.
