At the dignified age of eighteen, Phoebe Jamison knows she should behave in a manner befitting her station, as her three loving elder brothers often tease. Unfortunately, the lively young woman has a personality every bit as fiery as her red hair, a fact brought to her attention in the criticism from the gentleman she has long pined for. But not every man is of the opinion that a woman should be decorous above all else. The newest resident of Somerset, Mr. Franklin Everly, is considered a most eligible bachelor, and he is immediately drawn to Phoebe’s spirited nature as he becomes acquainted with the delightful Jamison siblings of Primly Park.

Franklin embarks on a friendship with Phoebe that quickly deepens into a warm and thrilling connection. But even as he fights for Phoebe’s attentions, a very real danger is revealed: girls in neighboring villages have gone missing, and the kidnapper is moving ever closer to Primly Park. Despite the guard of her fiercely protective brothers and Franklin, Phoebe must rely on her own strength when she finds herself in the sights of the Bride Snatcher.

Phoebe Jamison is a spunky redhead who likes to follow after her three older brothers. She has pined after their friend Mr Mason for years and dreams that he will return her feelings. Instead he constantly admonishes her and tells her to be more like a fine lady.

Franklin Everly is new to the neighborhood and is soon smitten by the feisty Phoebe. He must find time to fix up his estate, win Phoebe’s heart, and fend off her protective older brothers. All this while a kidnapper is on the loose stealing young woman.

I couldn’t stand Mr Mason from the beginning. The guy is just so full of himself, and I don’t see any positives. It’s amazing how someone so fun and full of life like Phoebe could be hung up on him.

A lot of the time the heroes are overly masculine. I love that Franklin is quietly heroic and self sacrificing. Even when it’s hard for him, he stands back and lets Phoebe be herself.

This is my favorite book by Linton. I loved the characters, the sweet romance, and the added mystery. I loved the dynamic between Phoebe and her brothers. I would love for Peter to get his own story.
