Publisher Description
He never forgot her…
When General Collin Hunt is ordered to take a much-needed holiday, he resigns himself to rest and recreation at his brother’s country estate. But when the only woman he ever loved—and selflessly gave up—shows up as his sister-in-law’s governess, his carefully ordered life is turned inside out.
She’ll never forgive him…
When Erienne Stone defied her family and fled her life of privilege, she never expected to be reunited with the man who’d abandoned her more than a decade before. But Lucy, Duchess of Claringdon, is a hard woman to say no to, even when Erienne’s heart is in danger of breaking all over again.
A meddling matchmaker may be the key to their second chance…
After a decade of pain and heartache, can two star-crossed lovers trust the truth in their own hearts?
Customer Reviews
Mr.Hunt I Presume
This is the 10th in the series. It can be read alone, but the series is so good that you’ll want to read them all. Collin and Erienne were in love when they were young but war separated them. Then years later Erienne became a governess in Collins brothers home and Collins sister-in-law Lucy puts her match making skills to work.
Sweet quick read.
May need tissues!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
Oh my stars! I seriously cried at parts. This was such an emotional story. It is full of angst and joy all in one. Ms. Bowman has such a way with words. I was immediately drawn into this story. I read this in one setting. The plot flowed by so smoothly, it was like being right there in the middle of the story.
Collin was a young man in the army and gave up his true love so she could have more than he could give her. Erienne was so hurt that she moved away and become a governess. Such a tragic story. Collin was such a drool-worthy hero in this story. Erienee was adorable. For one so young, she grew up and turned her back on society after the love of her life left her. What courage and spirit she had. I fell in love with both of them. I was so drawn into their story of a second chance romance.
This story is not erotica but should be read by a mature reader. I highly recommend this book.
Disappointed
I’m generally a fan of Valerie Bowman but this book was a huge disappointment. The total interactions between the hero/heroine can be counted on one hand but yet still manages to squeeze in several sex scenes. The plot was unoriginal and the writing uninspired. The characters had almost no development beyond he was a hardworking, dutiful soldier and she loved him. It’s just overall, not good. Save yourself the $2.99 because this one is not worth the time or money.
