Sweet, clean story of young woman with some form of Rheumatoid Arthritis who volunteers to help a friend’s brother recover from serious injuries. Kitty, the young woman, has suffered terribly for years and endured medical treatments and therapies which eventually enabled her to regain her health and ability to engage in normal activities. However, since the illness is only controlled, it is always in the background threatening to interrupt her life once again. As a result, suitors have dwindled away and she fears she will never have a husband and family.
A new friend, Delilah, has need of a nurse for her brother. She thinks of Kitty and asks her to care for her younger brother. Kitty assumes this brother is a child, and is shocked to find herself assigned to care for a 30 something year old man! The interplay of a young woman used to being ill, with an older man (Augustus) used to being healthy, is well done. The author helps us to appreciate what the young woman is thinking and feeling as she realizes she is falling in love with this man.
Augustus tells her of his many world travels, something she had only dreamed of doing due to her poor health. Although Augustus has been quite successful in business, he has not married nor formed any close female relationships that could progress to marriage. In some ways, he is still immature, expecting the world to bend to his needs. Kitty has to learn to be firm with Augustus to help him to heal, and Augustus must learn to trust someone outside of his family with his health. Thus, they both grow as people.
Another accident puts Augustus in hospital in London, where Kitty rushes to his side. He is in a coma, but able to hear Kitty tell him about her love for him. Kitty is sent home by her friend, Augustus’s sister, while Augustus is yet unresponsive. Will Augustus awaken? Did he hear Kitty’s expressions of love? Will he come to retrieve her from her father’s home? I will leave that for you to discover when you read this newest book of Ms. Ayles. You won’t be disappointed.

ONE AWESOME READ!!!
Ok guys, I’m just going to jump in head first. I could tell you all about this book. I could say it’s a great adventure. I could tell you how I felt like I was catipulted back to London in the great regency era. But come on guys. You’ve read the blurb. You’ve read what the other readers are saying. You know the score. But because I’m me. We’ll do this my way. Abby never ceases to amaze me. If you’re looking for a steady paced, smooth flowing read that grabs your attention right from the start. Then congratulations my friends you’ve found it. The characters and scenes were realistic and believable. The trials and tribulations were very personable and riveting. I was captivated following the characters as their personalities transformed and blended. The detailed descriptions were so vivid they painted an awesome picture. This read is so life like with all the emotions you’d expect from one of Abby’s stories. My focus was on the pages as the world she pulled me into came alive before my eyes. Phenomenal job Abby, thanks for sharing.
This was a difficult book to rate but it when I thought about it, it is definitely 3.5 stars. There were elements in the story that were very realistic e.g. a chronic condition. The lead female character, Kitty, was a little extreme. She was always second guessing herself and always looking down on herself. But then I try to imagine her world of being confined by her illness and can see that she has not had the opportunity to experience life. Experiencing life would include making new friends, learning about others and by association learning about herself as well as traveling to London, going to balls, soirees, dinners etc. I could identify with her when she got excited and nervous about traveling abroad, going out of her comfort level and trying to enjoy life as best she can. She also experienced a range of emotions by interacting with the lead male character, Augustus Sinclair, Earl of Stamford, his older sister Delilah, and their sister in law Cassandra. Cassandra’s character was warm and delightful. Delilah’s character appeared fickle, temperamental, inconsistent and she definitely appeared to be a fake friend. Now the other person in Kitty’s life was her overprotective father. It seemed to Kitty that he did not handle her changing for the better very well. He constantly saw her frail and constantly prone to illness. But that was not the case and it did not help that Kitty indulged him in this fabrication. There are so many good things about this story but there were also many troubling things as well. I am glad I got this book on Kindle Unlimited and did not have to pay for it.
