Rebecca Jennings’s first London Season has been absolutely ruined, and one person alone is responsible: Mr. Ben Fortescue. If her new neighbor hadn’t startled her, she would never have broken her ankle, leaving her bored and frustrated at home in the country while her sister enjoys the London Season alone. Although, it was rather gallant of him to carry her home.
For his part, Ben feels terrible about the role he played in Miss Rebecca Jennings’s accident. In the days that follow their first disastrous meeting, he finds himself inexorably drawn to the surprising young woman—first out of guilt and then out of a stirring affection. But Ben hides a secret: he has not been completely forthright about his identity or about the dark secrets of his past that would make it impossible for romance to blossom with Miss Jennings. Despite his love for her, he knows he must let her go. With her ankle finally healed but her heart now broken, Rebecca is left with little choice but to throw herself into the Season. With eligible men circling this late addition to the Marriage Mart, it seems that Rebecca will have no shortage of suitors. If only her heart were free to give.
Review - Oh how I loved Rebecca and her big personality. Ben was a delight, He made her bleak situation so much better. She had been looking forward to spending her first season with her sister and was disappointed by a broken ankle because he startled her and because she was in a precarious situation of her own making.
The growth of the couple and the characters was organic and lovely. I loved everything about this story. It was a delight to read. I found myself transported into this fantastic family and the lovely area in which they live. I loved seeing Susan and Lucas and their families from previous books.
This was such a fun story with such a sweet storyline. Each character had to embrace the weakness in the other and figure out what they wanted out of life. I love this change from strangers to friends to more.
I received an early copy from the publisher through NetGalley and this is my honest review. Then I purchased it almost as soon as it came out.
