A story about two childhood friends who might become something more if they can overcome their differences.
Kate Millbank had known David Merritt from the time they were children together. So she was thrilled to hear that the major was returning from the wars. What she hadn’t considered was that war might have changed David into someone angry and bitter. Or that she had no business pining for the illegitimate son of an illicit liaison. But Kate believed in miracles.
Not Recommended
Desperation and Deceit by Ruth West
A traditional-style Regency Romance but sadly far too many errors in spelling, punctuation, plot and writing style for me to recommend. Miss Katherine Larch has the great disadvantage of beauty. To find employment seems impossible until Mrs Grey from Carrick St Agency provides her with a disguise, and a post in the house of Lord Peirce.
The Stolen Bride by Jo Beverley
Something is wrong. Lovely young Lady Sophie Kyle fears her handsome fiance Lord Randal is having a change of heart about their upcoming marriage. Why else would the once notorious rake respond to Sophie’s playful flirtations with a stuffy “Behave yourself”?
A Chance Encounter by Mary Balogh
An early Mary Balogh that looks at what happens when two lovers are reunited six years later. This is not one of my favourite Mary Balogh books – it is recommended more for the die hard fans.
Elizabeth Rossiter is forever finished with love – after a disastrous episode that left her with a broken heart and a reputation that would be ruined should her scandalous secret be revealed.
