There's a word we Filipinos have.I don't know if there's an equivalent word for that in English but here it goes.You know the butterflies in your stomach? The warm sensation that you fell whenever he said something romantic? The feeling of being elevated when he smiles? The electricity you feel when your hands touch? Combine all of them and what you feel is what we Filipinos call "KILIG".That's what this book gave me. KILIG. This is the first Kieran Kramer historical romance I've read (and I believe it was her debut novel). I’m a fan of her writing style and have every intention of reading her other historical romances. Her writing is fun and full of zest, and she makes me forget I'm reading about fictional people.I liked Harry-he wasn’t perfect, but he strove to protect Molly and evolve into the man Molly knew he could be. I liked Molly's spirit and her unwillingness to give up on Harry, but she sometimes acted/sounded more modern than early 19th century and that coupled with my feeling that the plot was entirely improbable (I know some women engaged in sexual activity outside of marriage or before and I don’t mean courtesans), but I think Molly, an unmarried young innocent female (and an aristocrat at that), would have found her and Harry’s trysts a bit more shocking (albeit pleasant) even after seeing pictures in a book. I skipped over most of the details anyway; I cared more about the story.The Impossible Bachelor’s wager confused the heck out of me from the get-go, so I ignored the details and went along for the ride. What cinched a 4 star rating for me in addition to Ms. Kramer’s writing style was the last two chapters. They made me happy since the improbability/impropriety issue was resolved (though the hiding in plain sight character was a little weak but worked just the same). And The Spinster's Club? I ignored the reference to yet another new series, and am looking forward to reading more historical romances by Kieran Kramer.
Do You like book When Harry Met Molly (2010)?
Unexpected and original story line, but rather unbelievable. I did adore the heroine though.

Slow start but was satisfied. The author does create great likeable characters.
