Review: Bittersweet love story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 11, 2014
With a feel of a mystery this is a clever twist on a regency romance. We have the usual rotter in the form of the heroine Portia’s father, who has ruined his family with his gambling. Portia is very likeable, and you want things to work out for her as she battles through the unpleasant things she has to contend with in that time period, not to mention the ‘bad luck’ that besets her. Phillip the hero is charming. The characters and story hooks you in. This is a love story, a story of unrequited love, a bittersweet experience that takes the risk of presenting an unexpected ending. I enjoyed this short story and the fact that the author presented something very close to what real life throws up. 5 stars.
