Summary: The smartest thing to do...
Comment: Sometimes running away is the most courageous thing to do, as exhibited in the new movie, 'Mongol.' It takes a lot of courage to leave the old life behind. The Lady in this story was young and came to America to forsake her dreams. Born into wealth and 'given' to a cruel man in marriage for money to her ingrate father, she had no other choice but to flee when her father died.
It wasn't merely her physical beauty and intelligence her "Prince Charming" (so like Mark) came to appreciate, he eventuallyy discovered the beauty within her and her strength, before it was too late. My favorite sentence in this "clean" romance was "Trepidation warred with anticipation." So like the first Rosemary Rogers romances of Steve and Jennie (with a little risque business in between."

Summary: Romantic Comedy
Comment: Dear Lady, could be identified as a romantic comedy. Miss Bunny and Miss Patsy the busy bodies, Miss Beth the lonely English woman, Garret Steele the rancher, Owen Simpson the mayer in love with Miss Beth, and little Janie who needs a mom are the characters who bring the story to life. Dear Lady is a perfectaly believable story filled with characters you can't help but fall in love with. Dear Lady is full of inspiration and unintended love.

Summary: English Woman, Montana Man and some busybodies to boot
Comment: This could be a comedy of errors. People being caught in all sorts of not-good-lookin' situations. Strong characters, near misses, wrong impressions, righteous looking trouble makers, ohhh all the right ingredients for a lovely romance novel!!

Summary: Wonderful read!
Comment: Determined not to marry a man she didn't love, Lady Elizabeth Wellington jumps a ship to America to run away from a marriage which her recently deceased father had arranged. Her lone friend in America is her young pen pal, Janie Garrett, in New Prospects, Montana. Remembering that Janie had recently said the town needed a new school teacher, Lady Elizabeth travels to New Prospects and applies for the job. The town's wealthy banker, Owen Simpson, immediately falls in love with Lady Elizabeth. She, however, has her eye on the widowed father of young Janie. Fast and enjoyable read. Get all your chores done, sit out on the swing, and lose yourself in New Prospects, Montana and love.
