Will their past history doom a possible future together ...
Oh my!
What a fabulous read it was.
This story is the epitome of what I love to find in a book, clever characters, strong without being too much, resilient, a dash of sleuthing, some actions without overdoing it, the right dose of steam ...
I loved this book even more than the previous one, the heroine is just perfect, with her flaws and insecurities, she was able to draw a future for herself and when things move, she adapts herself to the situation.
Dorothea has loved and lost, have been overlooked for shinier, showier ladies, then discarded because she was not pretty enough. I admired her because she could have become bitter and resentful. Instead she gave a purpose to her life.
So when the man, she loved and left her, comes back from the dead, when she could have lashed to his hurtful actions, she is content and willing to help him regain his rank. But cautious she must be, as her heart is still a fluttering thing, easily swayed.
Benedict was an arrogant man and it was life’s lessons that taught him to regard it under a different radar. For long, he just wanted what was seen as the most beautiful item, what shone the most. Unable to see beauty could be a hidden gem. When his temper cost him his place among the English ton, he did not understand the full length of this life’s lesson until he reiterated it in his second chance life.
Now, older, wiser, he thinks he has everything mapped out.
Until he crosses road with the one woman he cowardly abandoned without the courage of a word to explain himself.
And this same woman is now everything he would want for himself, as beauty is a fickle thing and Dorothea has grown in a gorgeous woman, determined, making her own decisions.
I loved Mrs Lynne Connolly didn’t let the past define her characters, both when they meet again are very different from their younger self, why anger found no room between them. There might have lingering hurt, but it is easily left behind when the future is threatened. Dorothea is very rational, she examines her every feelings and refuses to go blind. She tells and asks. She stands and does not cower. Benedict knows he must make amends for the pain he selfishly even if unknowingly inflicted her. And the more he gets to know her, the more he sees the error of his past, even if he needed to grew up to become the man he is now.
Mrs Lynne Connolly offers with Benedict and Dorothea’s story a full of layers tale with action, suspense, friendship and love.
A big 5 stars for a tale forgiveness and going forward.
