Nearly a Lady by Alissa Johnson
5.0
This was another great story from Johnson. Her books are simple and undaunted by drama and mystery...they are just delightful stories about two deserving people finding their 'happily ever after' and falling in love. I absolutely adore them! The dialogue between this two characters was so odd at times, it was hilarious. Both had such a beautiful look on life and a strong sense of humor. They were so perfect for each other it was ridiculous!
Winnefred was fabulous! A tomboy in the country, yet a strong fearsome woman at heart. Her humility is what tore at your heartstrings. Always so concerned about others that it was so nice to see Gideon trying to take care of her. Although you could always see she didn't need anyone one to take care of her...she needed someone to share her life with. Gideon was a fabulous hero. A little quirky, a little reserved, but utterly charming. He was a classic tortured hero that I just couldn't get enough of. His one fault: he took a little too long to wake up and smell the roses. But the ending absolutely made up for it. So rewarding and so delightful!
I thought Lilly and Lucien's story certainly deserved to be told! I was so grateful for their happily ever after, but would have loved the details.
Overall...I loved it! Definite keeper!
