Lisa Kleypas has done it again, and in a big way. I want to see you in the final hour of my life.to lie in your arms as I take my last breath.” I want your tears, your smiles, your kisses.the smell of your hair, the taste of your skin, the touch of your breath on my face. “I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. No man on earth has ever hated sunrise as much as I do.” “For thousands of nights I dreamed of making love to you. These poignant lines spoken by McKenna to Lady Aline brought tears to my eyes and pretty much reveal and convey the heart and soul of the story. It’s a sad, beautiful, affecting love story that stays with you once you’ve turned that last page. Aline’s staunch secrecy and foolish pride drove me nuts! I mean really, come on! You’re apart from the man you love for 12 years and then you finally have a miraculous, magical second chance, only you’re too chicken, distrusting, insecure, and vain to admit the truth and put your feelings out there?!? Arrrgh! Still, I was rooting for McKenna to soften his ways and for Aline to finally come to her senses and admit her “big” secret before it was too late because those two definitely needed and deserved a HEA! And I really enjoyed the sweet, steamy secondary romance between Gideon and Olivia, too. I loved McKenna, even when he was plotting Lady Aline’s ruin and being a cruel alpha, and his volatile and intense emotional reactions were so brutally honest and heartbreaking.
I really enjoyed (loved!) this touching, emotional read of two childhood best friends turned sweethearts of opposing social classes whose love is torn apart by unfair prejudices, society rules and expectations, secrets, lies, mistrust, pride, and vanity.
