Reviews with the most likes.
A sweet lovestory about two former lovers finding together again after years apart.
We follow the protagonist, Arabella Darlington - Duchess of Hawthorne, newly widowed and wanting to escape London after a not-so-nice experience with her late husbands nephew.
What I liked:
The romance
A sweet lovestory between our protagonists Arabella and Raymond. Even if they've spend the last 10 years apart, they still remember each others quirks from before then. Also a very well written romance. I could really feel the chemistry between the two of them.
The friendships
I really liked how both Raymond's friend and Arabella's best friend came together in support.
The build-up
I really liked how Christy English kept the suspense of where Arabella would end up, through the book.
