Description
“Young love is all too fleeting, as Harold Jonquil painfully discovered years ago when Sarah Sarvol, the niece of a neighboring landowner, captured his heart. After an idyllic few weeks in the throes of blossoming love, reality intervened. They could have no future. Following their disastrous parting, Harold attempted to push aside thoughts of love and regret, but Sarah has never left his heart. Now, years later, he has achieved his lifelong aspiration of becoming the local vicar. However, the role proves more difficult than he imagined. He feels hollow and uninspired—until the most important person in his past returns, challenging him as no one ever has.
When Sarah’s ailing uncle summons her back to the family estate in England, there is only one person from her past she is reluctant to see again: Harold Jonquil, the only man who has ever claimed her heart. But when she comes face-to-face with her former beau, she hardly recognizes the aloof and dull man before her. She is determined to help Harold rediscover the passion he once felt toward his chosen profession. Soon, despite their exasperation with each other, they cannot deny the stirring of feelings long buried—but is it too late for second chances?”
My Review:
How have I missed reading the books by Sarah Eden about the Jonquil family? I absolutely loved this book and look forward to going back and reading the others in this series. I admit that the first couple of chapters made me wonder if I wanted to continue on reading this book. But then Sarah Sarvol entered the story, and all of a sudden everything came to life. I adored Sarah and her positive attitude towards life, even when things seemed at the absolute worse. I loved seeing her effect on Harold and helping him become the person he was always meant to be. The rest of the Jonquil family were entertaining and delightful . This book also has one of the best “rescue” scenes ever. It’s witty, charming, and romantic. This is a clean and sweet book that Regency fans will love. Also, I want to give a shout out to this publisher for their commitment to giving us clean, well-written stories.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
