Better bump him to the top of the heap." I like a few unexpected turns in my romances but this felt a bit ridiculous. "Oh, so-and-so just dissed the ability of women to work guess he's not the right guy." "Oh, this guy suddenly started acting all spiritual and suggested a prayer. And when the guys finally started dropping out of contention for Lilly's hand, it still irked me, because it felt like authorial fiat rather than developments that were integral to the plot or the characters. It really kind of irritated me that I could see the story going in any of at least four directions, without doing violence to the plot line. How long is Lilly going to string all these guys along? Shouldn't it be at least a little apparent (to me if not to her) which guy is the right one? Me at 85%: *eyeroll* This feels like a Regency-era Choose Your Own Adventure story, only with men! Me at 47%: This book is so unconventional and interesting! The heroine, Lilly, has 4 or 5 guys who are pursuing her and I can't tell which one she's going to end up with!
