Little Eve Edgarton

Bonus star added for enjoyment.

Eve is a wallflower, a young woman of thirty whose father has dictated her every move and almost her every thought, even to the packing of her trunk (her single steamer trunk with six sets of underwear and four dresses, plus various items of her father's that don't fit in his trunk). But at last she is going to have to find her own thoughts and opinions and not continue letting him dictate even her future. Above all things she longs for a house, instead of being forever a nomad.

The young hero isn't very appreciative at first because he's forever running after the next pretty face and bemoaning how empty the characters of those pretty society stars are. Is there any chance a lightning bolt can snap him out of his short-sighted and doomed hunt for a thoughtful woman in the ranks of the thoughtless?

Overall, a sweet short romance that stole my heart.

Content: swearing, mostly in scenes with her father.
