159. The Reluctant Heiress by Eva Ibbotson (Part 2) "Cillian Murphy."

This book is over 40 years old and a product of its time, but we enjoyed the accurate (but digestible) historic setting, character development, and well-paced romantic tension. Warning for romance readers who like their side of spice...there is none in this book.
