True love is for fairy tales. At least that is what Miss Hannah Knight believes. Her formative years were filled with difficulties, but she carries one memory with her always—even through the darkest times. The summer she spent at Manchester Castle where she started to dream of a happily-ever-after in the arms of the man who holds her heart. War has left Garrick Edwards cynical. He never expected … cynical. He never expected to inherit the title and become the Earl of Manchester, but his brother drank himself into an early grave leaving a daughter behind and a mountain of debt. Reluctantly, he returns to his ancestral home. When he arrives he finds Hannah there. Her letters during the war had given him hope when there was none; however he doesn’t believe he deserves her love.
As they rekindle their friendship they find hope they thought they’d both lost. In the bottom of their hearts they cling to that hope and start to wonder if some dreams can come true. The question is will they be brave enough to reach for them…

Hannah first meets the handsome Garrick as a young girl and falls head over heels for him before he leaves for war; it is ten long years before she seems him again. Scarred by the war, stepping into his dead brother’s shoes as Earl and trying to turn around the estate fortunes, Garrick doesn’t feel he deserves Hannah but neither can he bear to see her with anyone else. I gobbled up this story.
I listened to the audio book.

The first book in the series called Ever Beloved, it is a well-written book that I enjoyed reading. Garrick Edwards Earl of Manchester and Miss Hannah Knight meet again after a ten-year separation they have kept in touch over the years by letters. I want to read the next book in this series.

Love at first sight isn’t always smooth going, often there are many bumps on the way – and so it goes for Garrick and Hannah. Garrick is a complex character that Dawn has created as our erstwhile hero. He’s been to war and carries scars and does not feel worthy of our dear Hannah. Hannah is a sweet young woman that is faced with challenges of her own but faces them with her head held high, she is a strong character and well developed by the author. The storyline is well thought out and introduces us to these and other fun and intriguing characters. I look forward to Ms. Hamilton’s next book, hopefully we’ll get to learn more about Warwick.

The great character and storyline development kept me totally glued to my kindle from the very first page! I was so enthralled with this story that I ended up reading it in one sitting!
I loved this sweet and emotional romance. It was very easy to root for Hannah and Garrick and it was easy to sympathize with them. All in all a very enjoyable novella.
