Opinions are like noses. Everybody has one. Many people didn't like this book, but I thought it was excellent. A sparkling entertainment that tickled the funnybone, excited the mind, and touched the heart. I think that the people who slammed this book and said it was silly and unrealistic have never been unpartnered-yet-wanting-to-be-partnered. So much fiction about people searching for love deals with a lady looking for her Dashing Caballero. How refreshing to read about partner-hunting from the GENTLEMAN'S viewpoint! One part that touched my heart was when Our Hero met a woman that he grew to ADORE, and then finds out that she thought of him as very nice social company and that's it. ("I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm just looking for a fun break") I know where THAT one's parked! Been there, done that. Am waiting for the sequel!
