Brighton, England, 1813
When a romantic entanglement leaves her humiliated and
reeling, Anna Lane wants nothing more than for her father to whisk her
away from the gossip of the ton. Unfortunately, he has obligations
elsewhere, leaving her stuck in London.
Graham Everett’s
financial security depends on an investment with Mr. Lane, his long-time
friend and business partner. He’ll do just about anything to secure it
for his family, even if it means fighting spoiled, embittered Anna for
her father’s attention.
Luckily, Mr. Lane concocts a plan that
will give everyone what they wat, with one stipulation: Anna must
accompany Graham to Brighton in her father’s stead and make a decision
to invest—or not—based on a thorough report.
But it will take
more than a day at the beach for these two headstrong hearts to admit
that they’ve been wrong about each other. If they are willing to invest a
little time working out their differences, they might have a chance at
real love. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
I have loved this author's other novels so I was so excited to dive into this new story. There are a lot of things about this book that I really enjoyed. It is very much a enemies to more plot line and romance trope. The enemies part was the real deal in this one, the two main people really treat each other terribly for the majority of the book. I love Graham's character because it has layers and he is just a good hero. I struggled with Anna the entire book. I never really came around to liking her character and that made this a four star read for me. Her personality pretty much grated on my nerves the entire time and while things do get a little better in the second half of the book I still just couldn't click with her character. Because of that it made the romance side of things a bit stale. I did enjoy the setting and there is a good bit of humor that was fun. This is an enjoyable read it just isn't my favorite by this author. I think many will enjoy it though!
Four Stars.
