BOOK SUMMARY:
Three years after a shocking scandal destroyed her family and forced her into isolation, Eleanor Hayward finally has an opportunity to put her painful history and dashed hopes behind her. But reentering society is no simple task. In her cousin’s glittering ballroom, Eleanor is stunned when she comes face-to-face with the man who broke her heart those years before.
Edmund Fletcher thought he had laid the past to rest until he unexpectedly encounters the woman who so nearly became his wife. Soon to be engaged to another, Edmund knows he must let go of the complicated feelings he harbors for Eleanor. However, when the Hayward scandal resurfaces and the truth behind their parting is revealed, Eleanor and Edmund are left reeling. Tormented by thoughts of what could have been, they realize it is impossible to rewrite history. But is there a future in which they might both find happiness—and true love?
GOT CAUGHT UP.
In the miscommunication. ACK. I wanted to love this and enjoyed it for the most part but the longer the book went on the more the lack of one single conversation that was desperately needed started to make me cranky.
I thought Edmund and Eleanor were both sweet. I always appreciate dual POV too. There’s some flashback chapters as well that lend to creating a better back story for the iciness that occurs at the beginning of the book. I thought the audiobook was great too.
So not my favorite HK books but I’ll still be reading whatever she writes next.
