Lizzy Croft has a job mending and making costumes for the local theater company and has an agreement to marry her best friend and neighbor, James, eventually. When the future of the theater company becomes uncertain, she tries to convince James to marry her sooner rather than later. But, James refuses. He has some things to take care of that hed like to keep secret from Lizzy. So he leaves town with the promise to be back as soon as he can. He also leaves her in the care of his older brother, Rafe. Rafe can certainly see Lizzys appeal, but Lizzy remembers Rafe from her childhood and she is more than a little afraid of him.
Forced together by unimaginable circumstances Rafe and Lizzy feel the pull of attraction, but try to keep their distance.
I am not sure what to say about this book, except that I wasnt wowed. Its not bad by any means; its just not fabulous either. The characters, plot, writingeverything was just OK, nothing stood out or really pulled me in. I hadnt read the other books in this series, and this book really read as a standalone. After reading a book belonging to a series, I normally feel compelled to read the ones that preceded it and the ones that will come after I dont in this case.
Fans of the author and this series may feel differently, but to me this was just an average historical romance I liked reading it, it served its purpose. But it isnt anything Id read again or pass on to any friends.
