I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Embla Books and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
A Scottish castle. A summer escape. A love story that could change her life forever...
It's always been expected of Jessamine Byron to settle down with someone her family would approve of. But Jess is tired of living a lie.
When her so-called perfect life as the Countess of Cheshire goes up in flames, and her marriage in tatters, Jess packs her bags and flees to her family's Scottish ancestral home, Rosemire Castle...
...and runs into ruggedly handsome and surly gardener, Mac Douglas. To her surprise, Mac doesn't recognise her as the infamous lady of the house. Meeting someone who has no idea of the life she's left led, instead seeing and accepting her for the woman she really is, feels like a breath of fresh air.
As the summer unfolds, with Mac by her side, Jess finally discovers what it's like to find a community to belong to and be free to love whoever you want. But sometimes the past can't be outrun. And when her two worlds unexpectedly collide, can Jess find the courage to take charge of her own future?
My Opinion
Usually when I take weeks to finish a book it is because I am not enjoying the book, in this case it was because I wasn't ready for it to end. This was such a lovely romance with some much deeper topics. Jessamine has never really felt like she has had a family - can she finally find somewhere she belongs as she hides out in her castle.
I really enjoyed Honeymoon For One, so I selected this book without reading the blurb - I was very pleasantly surprised as this was such a joy to read. It is hard for me to write about this emotional read without giving away any spoilers. So all I am going to say is that I loved this book and it should definitely be on your want to read list.
Rating 5/5
