A Gentleman Never Surrenders - Great Story
Caraway is the oldest daughter and after her parents deaths she took care of her younger sisters, who are all married now. She was always quiet, and not as attractive as her sisters, and resigned herself to be the spinster Aunt, but reconsiders and decides to go after Miles, the man she has admired since childhood.
She goes to stay with her sister since she knows her husband is friends with Miles and she’ll have an opportunity to put her plan into action. She also meets Silas Riverton, a successful businessman and business partner with her brother-in-law.
Silas is immediately attracted to Cara but he notices her flirtation and interest in Miles. When Miles, announces his courtship to another young lady, she is devastated and leaves the gathering to be alone. Silas follows her and they are found in a compromising position and marriage is the only alternative to save her reputation. Cara is furious as she feels all options have been taken away from her by Silas and reluctantly agrees to marrying him.
To say, their marriage starts off rocking is an understatement, but Silas truly cares for her, which she doesn’t believe, she has trouble letting go of her resentment towards him. They settle into their marriage, she is a help to him in his business, he respects her ideas, their physical relationship is steamy, and in time they grow close.
Silas was a bit controlling, and jealous but the depth of his feelings for Cara was astonishing, I was frustrated with Cara for her immaturity in thinking she could feel so much for Silas physically but not be falling in love with him, and how long it took her to see Miles for the man he was and that Silas was the right man for her.
I enjoyed this story very much, it was well written, filled with misunderstandings, an unexpected villain, a myriad of emotions, steamy love scenes, and two people who had to let go of their insecurities, and doubts to find happiness together.
