PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kleypas (Worth Any Price, etc.) has made a name for herself with her darkly sensual historical romances and her willingness to treat the social issues of the Victorian era with the same intensity she brings to the relationships in her novels. Her latest book follows the romance between childhood friends Lady Aline Marsden and stable boy John McKenna. When the budding romance between Aline and McKenna is discovered, McKenna is banished from the estate. In order to protect him from her father's wrath, Aline makes McKenna believe that she's rejecting him because of his lowly status. Now a real estate tycoon in New York City, McKenna returns with a plan to seduce and abandon Aline as punishment for her earlier rejection. However, McKenna is unaware of the secrets Aline has kept all this time, and he's unprepared for the passion that he and Aline still share. Although the conflict between hero and heroine could be resolved with one honest conversation, the author creates a believable reason for their continued silence. Kleypas also explores some intriguing issues, particularly in a subplot involving Aline's sister and a charming alcoholic who accompanies McKenna. All in all, this is another solid effort from an author who has established herself as one of the premier names in the genre.

She got me again!
I’d already read the Wallflowers series so I was aware of who Aline and Olivia were as part of Westcliff’s backstory. But this was an unexpected delight to read Aline’s and Olivia’s own stories and see how they landed where they did when they surface in the Wallflowers books. Westcliff is one of my favorite of Kleypas’ recurring characters, so it was great to get more storytelling including him and his sisters. The end had me tearing up!
Readable
I love the trope of second chance romances so that made picking this book easy. I thought the story was good but found the MMC not believable. I just couldn’t imagine him logically behaving the way he does when he’s older. The younger version seemed more palatable. Read it in a day and not mad that I did.
LOVED!
My absolute favorite of all her books!
