Emerald Rain

What a phenomenal romance! I almost set this book aside, because the first 50 pages were a bit slow and I was ready for the story to get moving. I also took an immediate disliking to the heroine. Her holier-than-thou proper ways and her bias against those who were not of her race/station certainly did nothing to endear me to her in the beginning. But Lalie is a perfect example of true character growth. By the end of the story she is nothing like the infuriating Miss Eulalie Pritchard we were introduced to in the beginning. As she came face to face with her own prejudices and changed for the better, she slowly became a character I admired and could root for.

I loved Addison from the beginning, and other than pretending he had a nicely trimmed beard to go along with his 80's mustache, I would change nothing about him. :)
