 Book Summary

Nottinghamshire, 1785

Julia Cummings has long been acquainted with loss-her mother, her brother, her sister, her friend, all gone too soon. But the loss that pushed her grief to the limit as a young girl was that of her best friend, Lucas Jonquil, who abandoned her without looking back. Now, eight years later, Lucas has returned to Lampton Park, and Julia has steeled herself-she will never forgive the man who broke her heart.

After losing too many of his friends and family to early deaths, Lucas vowed to live life to the fullest. And after traversing the world, he has returned from his adventures to find his family and home as he left them-except for Julia. The little girl he left behind has blossomed into a captivating lady, a lady who makes it clear she despises him. With little hope of reconciliation, the former friends are blindsided when their parents make a shocking announcement. Lucas and Julia have been betrothed without their knowledge and are to marry immediately. Now Lucas must rely on the help of his closest friends to win the heart of a lady who loathes him-a lady he’s coming to love more deeply every day.

 

My Review

 Sarah Eden has again written a wonderful novel full of great characters (I love the Gents!), emotional scenes, funny moments, and of course the sweet romance. It was exciting to finally read about the parents of the Jonquil brothers and how their family started. I have loved the many stories of the Jonquils and Lancaster families. It was most surprising to find out how Lucas and Julia had a rocky start in their forced marriage. They'd been childhood friends who had grown apart which had left them on a rocky road. 

The story came to life for me when Lucas's group of friends came to visit Lucas and Julia to "Help" them in their struggling marriage. The Gents were more like brothers than just friends. Once I realized where this series was going I was SO excited! I can see how each of the Gents are going to get their own book and love story. They are such a unique and eclectic group of men. These charming men win Julia over and Lucas wises up and a happy love story comes about for Julia healing her heart. 

Sarah Eden fans will love this book. Those who've never read one of her books will be taken in and fall in love with her wonderful writing. This clean romance is recommended for upper teens and adults. Don't forget to pick up your own copy of, Forget Me Not.
