My Review: A funny, clever and witty read! I love that Kate was not afraid to speak her thoughts just because she was a woman in a time when being proper was more important than honesty. I assume that if I lived in this time I would be a lot like Kate. I was able to relate with her because of her spunk and the fact that at times she could not hold her tongue if her life depended on it. This novel teaches us once again that the heart is a million times smarter than the mind! An awesome addition to this series!
