When I’m looking for a romance that I know without question will be a good one, Eloisa James is one of my go-to authors.


Gladiolus is one of August’s birthday flower.

While this is the second book in the Cavensham Heiress series, new readers won’t have any trouble jumping into this series from here. This isn’t a simple comparison where the hero and villain are identical foils to each other, and the result is a thought-provoking plot line that adds, rather than distracts from the romance between Emma and Nick. I was also generally impressed with the way Emma’s quest turned out. I loved how she and Nick found healing and acceptance together, and gave each other hope that their future together would be better than their pasts alone. Emma’s relationship with Nick grows through small shared moments of laughter and honest that make the bond between them something unique and wonderfully powerful. But can he ever make her happy? And how on earth can he keep her safe in the bargain?Īs I mentioned, McGregor is a master of the little details, and this book is proof. Now that their names and reputations have been linked inextricably together, Nick realizes that he has no choice but to make Emma his bride. Having been raised by a genuinely unloving and unlovable father, Nick doesn’t know how to be lovable, or how to properly show love to others, even though Emma once tried. Mauer learned the hard way not to put faith in any relationship. Naturally, because this is a romance, her quest is foiled by a compromising moment with a long-time acquaintance…who may just be the perfect partner for all her live’s adventures. Lady Emma Cavensham is on a mission, determined to prove that her beloved friend’s death came at the hands of her ruthless husband. Their chemistry is tangible, and I adored the way their connection helped them evolve and redeem themselves, and each other. This is one of those rare books that are almost betrayed by their descriptions, because, while the plot of this book is interesting, the real joy comes from the interactions between the protagonists between the action. So why not enjoy these sweltering, sizzling summer days with a few good, steamy romance?
