Tracy's Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Series: Standalone
Release Date: June 25, 2024
Years ago, Lady Elowen Bawden and Lord Simon Trebarr shared a moment that ended in tragedy and changed their lives forever, a moment that should have killed any attraction, but didn't…
Now five years later, Elowen Bawden is widowed and has returned to her father's house, only to learn that her father is planning to marry her off again. And Simon has inherited his family's estates after the unexpected death of his brother. They see each other again for the first time in five years when Simon approaches Elowen's father in hopes of forging peace between the families, and it is clear that the attraction they shared is as strong as ever and just as impossible. But fate has plans for these two and their journey to HEA is going to be a wild ride, but one that proves true love conquers all!
This book was exactly what I have come to expect from Melissa Oliver, great writing, and a wonderful story filled with relatable characters. Elowen and Simon are an amazing couple, they each have had their own demons to battle and despite the joint tragedies they share, they aren't bent on revenge, and they don't blame the other for circumstances beyond their control – how refreshing! But that doesn't mean that their story is without heartache, loss and guilt, they are plagued with these things just like most romantic couples, they just handle it better! This story has death, self-esteem issues, duty, honor, familial obligations, unwanted betrothals, steamyish love scenes, loss, heartbreak, friendships, and finally a very hard-won HEA. I really loved this story and would happily recommend it to historical romance lovers, especially medieval fans!
