Title: Fast and fun
Review: Meg is an impoverished heroine who wishes on a magic stone figure for a better life for herself and her four siblings, and the answer to her wish comes in the form of the Earl of Saxonhurst who must marry immediately or be stuck with the bride his evil grandmother chooses for him. Hijinks ensue when she leaves the statue in her old house and tries to retrieve it without his knowledge.The good:The humor. From the witty dialogue to the eccentric characters, including a mysogynistic parrot.The emotions. They're clear and on the page. Sax's habit of taking out his frustrations on the inanimate objects in his bedroom is particularly well done. As is Meg's guilt over having won Sax by magic warring with her desire to provide for and protect her siblings.The bad:I'd give this an extra half star, but Meg's stubborn insistence on not telling anyone anything went on just a wee bit too long.The verdict:A thoroughly delightful, romantic read.
