I enjoy this author's work and usually find it quite romantic, which is what I look for in historical romances. I'm not a fan of 'second chance' stories because there is usually hurt involved on one or both sides. This is no exception in that the h rejected the H's offer of marriage when she was just 17 and he was the second son of a Baron, with no prospects. We know that the h is the daughter of an Earl and expected by her mother to marry well. The h also states that she wasn't sure of her love for the H at that time. I mean for heaven's sake, she was still so incredibly young, it wasn't at all realistic that she'd throw it all away to run off with the H. He has held a grudge meanwhile, for 7 years. I found him quite unsympathetic, I hated what he did in revenge and there was no way the author could redeem him for me in the space of a few short pages.The writing is good however and I will read more by this author in the future.
