Title: One of My Favorite Heroes of All Time :)
Review: I am in serious hero-love with Mick. He is a favorite of mine, truly delightful. He's honest (I find open, honest characters so rare in the romance genre that it takes me by happy-surprise when I read one), he's sensual and a rat-catcher to boot (a commoner!) Who could ask for more? He is a wonderful foil for the heroine. His attempt to become a gentleman and Winnie's discovery of her hidden self is lovely and unique; layered yet simple and utterly fabulous. The only nits to pick are a couple of devices used to bring the story to a solution were kinda lame or "typical", which put a damper on how very refreshing this story was for me. Judith Ivory is an amazing writer. I am sad she doesn't have more books for me to drool over. I seem to enjoy the Pygmalion premise so if anyone has any rec's for that, I'm listening :)The scene in which Mickey wants to impress Winnie with his rat-catching skills is so endearing that it stills resonates long after I've read it.
