Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-22 00:00:00 Glenn Sellars H and h were too young when they met and fell in love. They wanted different things in life. She wanted to go off to London for a glitzy and glam career. He wanted to stay in the small town of his birth and help his dad with his construction business. So she gave him back the engagement ring and three months after she moved to London, he married a barmaid that he had gotten pregnant during a rebound affair. Fourteen years later, heroine has moved back into her native small town. She has been left legal guardian of her orphaned niece and decided a slower pace of life in the countryside away from the memories of the big city is the best thing for her and her niece. Hero runs into her at a party. His short-lived marriage ended in divorce after his wife miscarried. Ex-wife remarried and has moved to Australia. Hero has had no-strings affair with likeminded gals over the years but he takes one look at heroine and he realizes that he will do anything to win her back. Many Great Big Terrible Misunderstandings are cleared up after hero and heroine enter a tentative friendship leading to their reconciliation. Heroine's niece is really the natural daughter of hero and heroine. Heroine conceived shortly before the break up with hero but only realized she was pregnant months after moving to London. When she went back to their hometown to tell hero about their pregnancy, she found out he was married already and this broke her heart. Heroine's big sis convinced her to give her small daughter for adoption to her and her husband while she remained in her life in the guise of "aunt." Hero went to look for heroine immediately after the divorce was finalized, ready to beg her to come back to him (and obviously having no idea heroine had given birth to their child). Heroine's sister slammed the door in his face, refused to tell him where heroine moved to, and told him to get lost. She also never told the heroine that he had come back to find out her whereabouts, because she was scared they would reconcile and take "her baby" away from her. In the end, they have to tell the niece the truth because they want to get married and become a family. The niece is incredibly mature about it which is believable. She is thirteen years old, an only child, plus her "mom" (heroine's sister) had told her a few years before that she was adopted though she did not reveal the identity of her bio parents. Niece is ecstatic to finally know her birth parents. It was a nice, somewhat sad, story but not terribly memorable or romantic. Just okay. I felt more passion in the author's writing when describing the antique tchotkes like heroine's antique sleigh-bed or the hero's restoration of an old decrepit manor than over the human relationships in this one lol.
