Why couldn't the suitor really want to Marry her for herself?! She had so much to offer but yet not even a nasty rotten teeth farmer wanted her? WTH? Only the hero in the whole wide world finds her appealing? No one can't be that ugly that a man like that couldn't see something to admire in the chit. HE SAID THIS ALL IN FRONT OF THE HERO! Thanks! The suitor didn't really want Miss Hattie at all, he was just using her to get her land and was still calling her horse face behind her back and saying he was gonna get some children off her by covering her face with a bag. Then the author had to go and ruin it at about 60% in. The hero teaching her how to kiss so she could use it on her suitor,his jealous antics after she does, and miss Hatti's genuine happiness at finally being wanted by a man. What takes place after that was some very entertaining scenes. (but of course the OW really loves someone else that she later runs off with- don't get me started on that, grrr!) The hero which is her best friend started seeing her in a new light even though he himself was engaged. One day out of the blue a thinning hair raggedy farmer with seven kids started to court her and she is ecstatic because no one has ever given her the time or day. Miss Hattie is a plain Jane and almost everyone in the community calls her horse face because of her big teeth. MY.GOSH this book completely peed me off! I was sorely tempted to give it 1 stars but this author can weave a good tail so that saved it.
