Publisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?
Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer.
From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.
Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo.
That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them.
Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.
Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.
Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.
It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love.
We both had one wish: more time together.
But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back.
A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.
I believed our story was over.
Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core.
I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?
Well, I knew nothing yet.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
Everything you would want in this great read absolutely loved it. Looking forward to her next book ❤️
Stiff & Standard
Lack lustre. The characters & story were predictable and boring. I left it to read other books & finished it as I like this author but it’s a lemon. Apologies Penelope Ward.
All the feels
The Aristocrat and Leo Covington have jumped to the top of my best reads and best book boyfriends, this was one of those reads that I knew from the first few pages that the story and the characters were going to stay with me long after the final words had been read. The blurb was intriguing but Leo Covington and Felicity Dunleavy’s journey was so much more than I could ever have expected . This is one of those romances that the characters grow as their story unfolds, it’s about having a connection that time will never tear apart, it’s about love, it’s about soul mates and more importantly it’s about fate putting you in the right place at the right time as well at the wrong place at the wrong time. I don’t want to write a review that’s full of spoilers because this romance needs to be read with no preconceived ideas, you need to pick this book up without a hint of what’s going to happen to get the best from this wonderful story. So I guess all I need to say is, this book has it all, it’s entertaining, it’s emotional, it has wonderful characters that you will fall love with and it’s a book you won’t be able to put down so please one click this must read. Great Jon Ms Ward another outstanding read.
