- Jessica Hart was born in Ghana, and grew up around Africa, she has suffered from itchy feet ever since. She has traveled by Tanganyika, South Africa, Papua New Guinea, Oman, Australian Outback, Kathmandu, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Cameroon, Algeria, USA, Egypt, Kenya, France, Belize, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Spain, Italy, Greece… many of these countries have featured as settings in her books in one way or another. She obtained a degree in French from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where her mother continues living.
After some years spent working and traveling around the world, she stumbled into writing as a way of funding her Ph.D. in medieval history, obtained in 2004, and she is now a full-time author based in York, England dividing her time between Yorkshire and Wiltshire, where her partner, John, lives. The more she writes, the more interested she is in how and why romance works, and in spite of much grumbling about the writing process, suspects she is now hooked! Jessica has written more than 50 books and is winner of the two most prestigious awards in romance writing, a RITA® award for the best traditional romance of 2005, and the coveted Romance Prize, awarded by the U.K.'s Romantic Novelists' Association in 2006, an award for which she was also short-listed in 2007 and 2009.

I was pleasantly surprised! While I still kind of grew exasperated by the sheer amount of miscommunication that occurred between the leads, I enjoyed watching as Caro got practically an entire country to adjust their way of thinking just by being eccentric and personable. I take issue with the cover, its pretty, but rather bland and does nothing for either character (it doesn't show Caro's luscious curves or her unique style of dressing for starters). That's par for the course in Harlequins isn't it though?
As I said earlier the miscommunication issues vexed me, there were several times I really wanted to just ask why neither thought to just say something. Some of the walls built between them felt very artificial and a little silly (Philippe's constant criticisms about Caro's outfits, or Caro's rather reckless penchant for ignoring what Philippe told her), but it was amusing to watch Philippe's obvious deep feelings for Caro and her pragmatic approach. It was usually Caro who had to remind Philippe that he had to step back and remember it was a temporary gig and Philippe who made (silent) plans for their future.
You can't tell from the cover picture, but Caro has 'luscious' curves and though its never explicitly stated more of an 'average' woman sized figure I'm guessing. I liked that she dressed how she liked--in vintage clothing mainly that was a little offbeat, but had emotional significance to her usually.
While some of Caro's backstory was a bit spotty and if looked at too closely a bit implausible to boot, I thought the genuine affection she and Lotty felt for each other was an endearing piece of the story.
The companion book to this, The Secret Princess, parallels the timeline during Ordinary as Caro and Philippe begin their charade and it quickly becomes something more. Throughout the novel there are email exchanges between Caro and Lotty that give us a little bit about what's happening with Lotty, but surprisingly the end of this book does not ruin the end of that book.… (plus d'informations)
