I thoroughly enjoyed this short Regency second chance romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. The governess a fun touch. They had fallen in love but her family forced her to marry a duke since they were destitute. Many years later after her husband died, they got a second chance. The ending was great.

This is dramatic and intense. Lewis and Grace met and fell in love when they were young, but Grace ended up having to marry someone else in order to save her family. Years later they meet again, only to pretend they didn’t know each other. Now again they meet, and finally talk about the past. Grace is still as stubborn as she was, and poor Lewis can’t believe he is having his heart broken again because of her. It’s a sad story with a happy ending.

After reading some pretty in-depth things this week it was so nice to read a simple story about second chances. I loved the tiger! I can always get lost in Ms. Mariel stories such a pleasant way to spend a bit of time on a Saturday afternoon. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
