A very romantic story of a smiling viscount who carries his wounds on the inside and his "pretend" fiance who was left at the alter a year before in One Night For Love.
Mary Balogh doesn't disappoint in this sequel, giving us a sweet romantic metamorphosis of Lauren, the perfect lady, into Lauren the woman. As Lauren helps Kit reunite with his family, and as Kit helps Lauren find fun and adventure, love and a deep bond are formed. The story may be predictable but the characters are memorable and the prose and storytelling delight.
Particularly charming, in Balogh's style, is when she recognizes she may be using language or a turn of phrase that is too contemporary for the historical period - Balogh addresses it directly in a manner that doesn't jar away from the story and in fact adds nuance that further demonstrates Balogh's great skill as a writer.
A sweet and memorable romance.
