'I'm going to do better I promise', means nothing to me.

He is all words at the end, but no action.

It is depressing and disgusting that this woman actually wants this man. Seeing a man using women and discarding them until he finds one 'pretty enough' (cause he knew nothing about this woman or that she was even his wife) he wants to keep, but does absolutely nothing for (but use for his own exploits), is way too much like real life issues to me. Life sucks enough to make this be romantic? All I wanted at the end was for the hero to die and the Heroine to get a backbone and a better love interest. At least some and have hope for this couple to think about their future. I expect a 'Romance' to have romance and some positive vibes. I read romances to even out the hellish parts of life and to find comfort. The 'will he or won't he' ever be better than the nothing this 'hero' gives. Maybe for my own piece if mind for those about to attempt this book and not prepared for the emotionally abusive ending left by the author. I wrote a review of this book over 3 years ago and I'm ashamed to say I couldn't forget about this book enough that I had to leave a second. Threatening any hope of a future together.īelieve the book title. But when he confesses his sins to the beautiful stranger, the truth rips open the old wounds of their blighted history. Yet he is bewitched and besotted, and their night together is the most passionate he has ever known. Gil doesn't recognize the bold, flirtatious woman he meets at a ball, with or without her mask. And knows what she wants - her husband, back in their marriage bed. She is no longer the shy, homely girl he left behind, but a strong, confident woman who knows how to run an estate. After a disastrous wedding night tainted with his bitterness, he deposits Rose at his remote, Northumbrian estate, soothing his guilt with the thought that she need never lay eyes on him again.įive years after the mortifying wedding night that destroyed all her romantic fantasies, Rose is fed up with hearing second - and third - hand reports of Gil's philandering ways.

Gil Truman has eyes only for the beautiful Tilly - until he is forced to marry plain, sickly Rose Davenport to reclaim the lands his father foolishly gambled away.
