Ace is determined to fulfill a vow to his father and sets out to find the sister that was kidnapped years before. An angry goose, a lovely lady, a shady brother, an aunt that speaks with ghosts, and a woman determined to drag him to the altar are only the beginning of his adventures.

Will Ace find the love he's been searching for or end up in a marriage of convenience? Will he solve the mystery of his sister's kidnapping?

Barbara Metzger's novel is a fun and lighthearted romp. My only complaint was that I would have liked the heroine Nell to be a little more spirited. The colorful secondary characters were one of my favorite parts of this book. Overall, Ace of Hearts is a whimsical and sweet tale.
