Sum of All Kisses / Julia Quinn / 373 pgs. / Dec. Challenge - Gold Rings

"Hugh Prentice has never had patience for dramatic females, and if Lady Sarah Pleinsworth has ever been acquainted with the words "shy" or "retiring", she's long since tossed them out the window. Besides, even if Hugh did grow to enjoy her company, it wouldn't matter. a reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now, unable to run, ride, or even waltz, he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her." - from Catalog

This is a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill romance novel.  The "excuse" that keeps the two protagonists apart is so lame and over dramatic that it's almost laughable.   The book really slows down midway with long passages about the main characters mooning over each other and not saying or doing anything about it.  I finished the book only because I had already put in a lot of my precious reading time and I want to get my blog points!  :)  Final Verdict: Fair, quick read.
