While this type of hero might have an appeal for some readers, he didn't work for me. I kept hoping that at some point during the novel he would learn that being a man didn't require being such a domineering personality all the time but it never happened. Particularly when Bram and Susanna discover that beneath all their verbal sparring lies a deep attraction.While there were definitely some very cute moments in this one, the novel was a bit of a dud for me as Bram is a super duper alpha male personality. When Susanna's father tasks Bram with setting up a local militia everyone is dismayed. Until the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Bramwell who has come to convince Susanna's father to use his influence to have Bram sent back to the war against Napoleon after taking a bullet to the knee. Of course, one of the many selling points for those ladies is that there are very few men in Spindle Cove. Susanna Finch has worked to make her home village of Spindle Cove a safe haven for those ladies who don't quite fit into society.
