Publisher Description
A soldier and a pacifist make the unlikeliest of pairs, but when passion sparks, there’s nothing that can prevent their love from igniting.
Winifred Cunningham, the adopted daughter of a portrait painter, hopes that her new close friend, Owen Ware, will soon ask for her hand in marriage. But when Owen introduces Winifred to his elder brother Nicholas, the late Earl of Stratton’s second son, the slow burn between them begins.
Nicholas is a cavalry colonel—a hardened soldier whom Winifred at first despises. She finds him intimidating and cruel-looking, while he finds her strange and startlingly forthright. During a summer at Ravenswood, however, Nicholas and Winifred are unwillingly thrown together on several occasions, until they realize the passion that drives their disagreements is not due to dislike—it is because of attraction.
Winifred still awaits Owen’s proposal, and Nicholas has made his intention to marry his commanding officer’s daughter quite clear. With allegiances to other marriage prospects and brotherly bonds at risk, not to mention the age difference between them, Nicholas and Winifred know it would be wholly improper to pursue a romance...
And yet, romance is irresistible. Perhaps even inevitable.
Customer Reviews
Everything you want in a novel
Loved reading Win's story and the Ravenswood/Wescott series is deep and enjoyable. Not only the main characters, but their families were fully developed and dealt with as individuals. Much more of world to fall into with a good read.
Hard to put down. This author keeps going where so many writers (after the couple gets together) rush to the ending. But what about... is answered. May just read again soon. Mary Balogh's book are worth purchasing. Too hard to wait for the library edition to be available anyway.
A huge disappointment for what could have been a great story
I wanted to love this book so much, unfortunately I couldn’t. I know detail is important but this was overwhelming. I found myself skipping pages on pages. This story was going to be so good. I felt Nicholas character was shunned out by all Wins family. He has so much potential. I would have loved to have known more of him, of his trauma at war, all his battle wounds( mental/emotional). Their love story needed to be the focal point. This book is by far my worst disappointment. I love all the authors books! I hate to give it this rating but it is my opinion and my honest point of view on the book.
Remember That Day
Oh Mary. What an absolutely wonderful story. For these two, who had suffered such pain and loneliness in their pasts, to find each other and fall in love.
Having read every one of your previous books about these families, for me the beautiful ending of this story warmed my heart.
