3 of 5 stars
Lady Mary Mowbrah has loved
Duncan Starrett since she was 16 years old. Waiting for him to return from the
war, it was a long 5 years before he returned, gravely injured. They were both
different people now and it will take love and patience for them to reconnect.
Will their love blossom now?
I enjoyed this book, but
there was something just a bit lacking for me in this story. The other 3
stories in the series were easily devoured. Not so with this book. I found I
could put it down time and time again. I kept waiting for a huge conflict or
twist in the storyline. The biggest conflict in the book is Duncan's feelings
of unworthiness and that got old after a while. Ms. Golden is a talented writer
and has woven some memorable characters into the series. I did find the
epilogue confusing with so many couples and their children mentioned. I didn't
really care about any of them and it took a while before the reader learns
whether or not Mary and Duncan have any more children. It was a decent read,
but certainly not my favorite of the series.
I voluntarily read this
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
