“When Nathan and Evelyn lose their son, instead of reaching out to each other they fall apart. Nathan loses himself with drink and gambling while Evelyn withdraws within herself. Evelyn leaves Nathan when she spies him with another woman, whom she thinks is his mistress. But three years later Nathan forces Evelyn to return home, for the good of the family - he doesn't want her involved in the Princess of Wales scandal. She isn't happy with the decision, she has bad memories of the estate, and she's afraid on how living with Nathan will be. Sparks fly. Misunderstandings are explained. But soon they realize that something isn't entirely right, mysterious accidents have been happening in the estate. Can it be too late for them?
After the author's last series, I was considering not to read this book. But I'm glad that I picked it up. I loved the book. I drawn into the story right from the beginning. It was fast paced, and it didn't lack in the details of the period. I thought that the emotions that both Nathan and Evelyn had, were believable and heart wrenching. And I also thought that their reconciliation was bound to happen sooner or later - the love was still there, their chemistry was wonderful. The threats added a suspense to the story and I was shocked on who was the culprit. My only complaint was that I found the ending rushed, I wanted more.
(4.5/5)”
