Genre: Regency Romance
My Rating: 4/5 Stars
Description: They were inseparable in
their youth, the very best of friends, two halves of a whole. For four
years, Miles Linwood, the Marquess of Grenton, has felt incomplete
without her. When a carriage breakdown leaves him temporarily stranded
in a tiny town, Miles makes an unexpected discovery that will alter the
course of his life, and rewrite the pages of his past.
My Review: I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now and finally found some time to do so. As with all of Sarah Eden's books, I found the characters endearing, even when they were frustrating.
Miles and Elise were the best of friends growing up...until Elise suddenly disappears. Years later, he makes a discovery about her, but the events surrounding her sudden departure are a little mysterious and that mystery weaves its way throughout the whole story. And what a fun mystery it was to try and figure out!
Ms. Eden always writes such great characters! They're flawed, yet a reader can't help but love them. The men are perfectly imperfect and Miles is a great example of this. He's so kind and patient, not caring a fig about what society thinks, yet he's not willing to risk the reputation of those around him. I wanted Elise to just spill the beans and quit keeping secrets, especially from her childhood best friend. As the story went on, I came to understand her and her motives better.
This is a clean, enjoyable read and is perfect for lovers of Regency Romance books.
Content: mild romance (kissing, very, very vague mention of rape); mild violence (deaths, blood, not graphic); no language; no religious elements. Clean!
