Our heroine is Kit of the Androgynous Name. The heroines are unmemorable, but at least they're neither doormats nor (shudder) "feisty minxes."* And if the books are, to a one, entirely humorless, at least the writing is more than competent. The thing about Stephanie Laurens is that you generally know what you're getting going in: generally interchangeable, arrogant, possessive heroes and generally interchangeable, but fairly tolerable heroines.

We were picked up on time from our hotel and had a full day which was great fun. Very sensible as often lunches included in trips are of a lower quality and there is waste. Lunch was at a very good restaurant and as it was not included in the trip we could have as much or as little as we wanted.

Definitely, worth it and Merf was a wonderful host. We ask Meredith to customize the tour for a particular style of wine (Italian varietals) and they nailed it!
