I'm a Londoner, though now I live in Devon, a twenty-minute walk from the sea. I love nothing more than walking my pretty Cavapoo on the beach in the rain (well, OK, I don't object to the sun, but when it's raining we usually have the whole beach to ourselves.)
Back in the day I had 25 novels published by Mills&Boon. After a long gap doing other things I found my love of writing again, and self-published three new novels.
But I knew that to reach more readers I needed an established publisher. Step in Joffe Books. They were top of my list so I was delighted when they accepted the first novel I sent them.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
This book is from 1998. In my opinion the best HP’s were written in the ‘90s and this book is no exception.
The H and h were engaged a few years before the book starts but she dumped him because she believed what his stepsister said about him. So this is a second chance story.
He’s a besotted, sensual man in pursuit. Love him.
The reason I don’t give this 5 stars is because there’s a too long flashback in the first 1/3 of the book.
This was good but with this backstory, plot and H it should have been great. I tried a couple times before to read but the beginning third is excruciatingly slow. OW is excellent and even the h is good.
