After
a wild youth, Nicholas Haddonfield, Viscount Reston, has promised his ailing
father he'll finally take a bride, though doing so will force Nick to make
impossible choices and face old, painful wounds.
Leah
Lindsey is glad to find refuge from her own desperate situation in a marriage
of convenience with the gallant viscount. But soon convenience is not enough,
and Leah can't understand why Nick remains so distant. What is he hiding, and
will he ever allow her into his heart?
After reading Darius I was both intrigued by his sister’s mysterious situation and the hints left to us in the first book about her romance. So I was interested enough to pick this book up immediately.
Unfortunately
while I think Burrowes does a good job with chemistry and setting again, her
some of her plots are frustrating to me. This book is one of those that has too
many strange secrets to make it seem real. Leah has a legitimate secret.
Nicholas meanwhile has some hang ups about marriage that just don’t add up when
inspected closely.
The
story dragged in the middle while these two failed to talk to one another. To
me, this amount of miscommunication and non-communication was almost
infuriating. Our main couples doesn’t talk to one another, Nicholas and his
brother have a decades long misunderstanding and Nicholas is also misinformed
about parts of his childhood. This was just too much for me. Use another plot
device!
Overall,
while I liked our characters, the plot was not impressive. After a promising
start, this series took a serious dip in my opinion.
