Wow. I read every word and I have chills. Chills! That’s the coolest article I’ve ever read. And I don’t think either of the sisters were homely, at least not according to the accompanying picture.
Now I want to read We Followed Our Stars and some of Mary Burchell’s M&B titles.
Romance novels save the world yet again.
BTW, am I the only one who thinks “Righteous Gentile” could be a Presents title? “The Greek Tycoon’s Righteous Gentile”; “The Righteous Gentile’s Virgin Bride”; “Taken By The Righteous Gentile”… it has so many possibilities, especially now that Sheiks have fallen out of vogue.
