5 of 5 stars
The is the second
book in THE SUTHERLAND SISTERS series and it's not a lighthearted regency
romance. This book is filled with so much guilt, misunderstandings and pain.
Charlotte Sutherland was just a wonderful character in the first book, but in
this book, she's broken and filled with guilt over the way her life has turned
out over the past year. Julian West loved Charlotte from the moment he saw her,
but when she unexpectantly turns around and marries Lord Hadley, he devastated
and joins the army. When he returns to London hailed as a hero, it only adds to
his guilt that he couldn't save his best friend on the battlefield. He's no
hero, just a shell of the man he used to be.
Two broken
characters filled with so much pain makes this book darker than most Regency
romances. Ms. Bradley teases out details how they both have suffered during the
last year and their unyielding guilt begins to make sense--Charlotte for her
husbands early death and Julian for not saving his friend. When Julian is
tasked with getting Charlotte to agree to leave London and return to her
childhood home with her family, the battle of the wills begins. Who is
stronger? Will Julian ever discover why Charlotte deserted him a year ago? And
will Charlotte ever comes to terms with the ghosts of her past? This book is a
roller coaster of emotions that will keep you turning the pages until the very
end to see if Charlotte and Julian can rekindle the love they once knew again.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
