Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
After being left at the altar by the one person she thought she could trust, and discovering that her brother's were in with the jilting, Lady Willa Ransome vowed that no one would ever know the pain she felt. Leaving for the continent to lick her wounds, she's now home, and ready to ignore Dom. However, when they find themselves both trapped on a remote Scottish island, with only a few friends and family members for company, they can't avoid each other forever, and secrets from their past are bound to come out.
I loved this book! I mean, I do love anything that Eva writes, but second chance romances, particularly after there's been such a build up to their tale. Dom and Willa may have been from different social classes, but after Dom's father gained wealth, and the families became close, the pair became really close. It was if they were each other's perfect partner, and together they could be their true selves. Willa did not want to be a lady, and enjoyed her time where the pressure of the ton and social interaction was not on her head. And for Dom, being in the limelight, expected to be a gentleman always, was tough. He suffered greatly in his childhood, and worked on the dockside to help support his family. He had done things that haunted him, and he loved Willa too much to risk her suffering because of it. I liked that they eventually talked about their past, and their worries. They didn't hide the hurt, and bolstered each other once they had breached each other's walls. There were also moments of humour and wit, and this perfectly concluded the series. Another fantastic book from Eva, and I'm desperate to see what she has in store for readers next!
