4 of 5 starsBarrister Bram Townsend likes order in his life. He has his friends, their book club and his work. He doesn't need or want anything else. All of that neatness is turned upside down when he tries to save a lady from jumping off a bridge. Except, she wasn't planning on jumping; she was just star gazing. Lady Wilheminia Bettesford is an amateur astronomer and merely wanted to get closer to the sky when she's rudely pulled off the bridge railing. She's furious and lets Bram know she doesn't need or want his help, but she can't resist stealing a kiss from the tall, imposing man. Can two people who are adamantly opposed to marriage resist their mutual attraction, or will they go their separate ways forever wondering if they missed out on true love?
This was a delightful story. Not only did I love the banter between Bram and Wilheminia, but Bram's friends were so entertaining. Bram was so honorable, and he just wanted to make Wilheminia happy. He wanted her to be able to make her own choices about her life without any undue pressure from him or her family. The plot moves along nicely with a few slow parts. There were quite a few twists and turns in the story before these two were able to admit their love for each other. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and am looking forward to knowing more about Bram's orphan brothers.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
