I don't generally read many contemporary romances, I'm an avid historical romance reader but every now and then I either get a recommendation or find one that interests me by accident. I found this one by mistake and it coincidently was my best worst mistake lol because I truly did love this and got me thinking what other good contemporary romance am I missing?I love the undeniable chemistry between Violet and Martin and the way they obsessed over the other. I liked the victorian gentleman feel of Martin which reminded me a lot of the historical romance heroes I read - I read many Victorian era novels so it had some of that feel to it. And I liked Violets modern attitude so I felt it was a very nice mix of old and new (even though Martin was 32 but he definitely had an old soul which I appreciated). I mean even the way he had sex with Elizabeth had been boring and one position like one would a wife in Victorian times while with Violet it was unpredictable, with passion and oh so good like one would with a mistress though clearly Violet means more to Martin than just great sex and vise versa :)I really fell in love with Martin and goodness did he do and say the right things *sigh* Violet was a worthy heroine and they truly deserved each other.The reason I knocked down a star was because even though I understood violets dilemma and past hurts I still think she waited too long to tell Elizabeth the truth but what bothered me more was that at times, it felt more of a summary read. Still overall, I loved the characters, they were quite endearing and it was an enjoyable read. This is a keeper and future re read!I haven't read Elizabeth and Nathan's story but I will download it and read ASAP.
