2 March 1810 . . .Today, I fell in love.At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever.But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .

And JQ with another excellent book! This was such an emotional roller coaster. There was so much Miranda had to deal with. Oh man, I think I would have slapped Turner.
The diary entries are spread throughout, and at first I thought they were weird, but I started this book on a work night, and when I took a breath, it was 11. Like, whoa! I was totally lost in Miss Cheever's dramatic launch into the ton, and her journey to finding love.
Something I really enjoyed about this book, was that the couple had some foreplay before they got nekkie together. Yes, Turner was a total jerk at the funeral, but Miranda knew better. She stopped that shit in its tracks. And good for her. Not settling for nookie just because. I also really liked Olivia, her friend here stuck through her through everything. And that ending. I really think I had some tears welling in my eyes.
Miranda is witty, their banter is really great. And if you like HR's you will definitely like this one, I am not surprised that there is a HUGE wait for this at my library.
