A beautiful novella about the love that developes between two strangers when they are thrown together through circumstance.  Abigail is a virgin who hides a wanton nature, longing for excitement. She is however in the process of accepting her lot in life of being a spinster and has taken a short vacation to bid farewell to her hidden wilder side and lock away her fantasies, once and for all. . . Enter Robert! Robert has been injured in the war and after being thrown off his horse he seeks shelter during a storm and finds Abigail's cabin. Then the chemistry begins! Abigail was raised in a time where most marriages were loveless and women were supressed, it was probably improper to feel desire, let alone more basic sexual needs. Robert is in need of some serious TLC after his war experiences, however their relationship starts off with him wanting to fulfill Abigail's every fantasy, and I found him to be a very touching, caring person. While the love scenes were explicit I found them to be poignant as they were filled with emotion, totally centred around caring for and pleasing your partner. Abigail in turn wants to learn how to please Robert, and so they are very caring towards each other. While in the isolated cabin these two people are able to be free from society's expectations, but once they return to "the ton" and their true identities are revealed, how far are they prepared to fight for their love? A truly satisfying read for incurrable romantics, who don't mind a bit of sizzle!
