The last man Judith Worth wants to see again is Christian Trent, the Marquess of Ashford—the man who spent summers at her family home, who kissed her one magical night…and then heartlessly ruined her father. But when a tricky business matter arises, he’s the only one she can ask for help. With any luck, he’ll engage a servant to take care of the matter, and she won’t even have to talk with him.
But Ashford has never forgotten Judith. He knows she will never forgive him for what he’s done, but when offered the chance to assist her, he arrives in person. His memory of Judith may have haunted him, but it pales in comparison to the reality of the vivacious, beautiful woman he rediscovers. Throughout his life, he has always done what is correct. But now, he finds himself doing something utterly wrong…falling in love with the one woman he can never have.
Courtney Milan was recommended to me so many time and I finally picked up one of her books when I was in the mood for romance.
What I
particularly appreciated about this book was Milan's ability to make me believe
these two characters knew one another well before this book started. Their
chemistry was spot on and very compelling. It is easy to write a story where
two people are attracted to each other, but this story was more complex than
that. Judith and Christian have difficult history and Milan did an excellent
job showing how painful it would be to navigate their situation. I believed
this part of the story.
Overall this was a
good romance with a well written story. It was nicely paced and I don't
remember any serious problems with the language. Each of their characters was
well defined outside of their relationship as well. Judith was a very
independent young woman with a sharp mind and skills. Christian was funny and had his own problems to solve other than the ones Judith needed help with. I appreciated seeing her
personality on the page and will be sad when I follow someone else in the next
book since I adored her so much
A very good romance story with great characters. I'll be checking out more Courtney Milan soon.
