Cute story. I liked it.

From the back cover:

Roy McMillan had vowed to live and die a bachelor!

But the McMillan credo didn't set too well the day that Ellie Fitzsimmons stepped off the train in Paradise, Nebraska. The confounded beauty lit up an October day with her sunshine. And though she was there to visit his brother, Roy had trouble keeping that fact in mind - and not making a complete fool of himself!

Ellie was in a pickle! And no amount of fabric could hide her secret for long. Roy McMillan only added to her troubles with his devastating smile. But when Roy learned the truth, would he still want to make their own little paradise on earth?

One of the things that I really liked about this book was all the different, rather quirky, characters involved. While a couple of them, like Roy and Parker's apple obsessed Uncle Ed, were a little off the wall, all of them felt real.

This is the first book I've read by Liz Ireland but I've got another Harlequin Historical by her on my bookshelf that I'm looking forward to reading.
