Synopsis
She’s never been afraid of breaking the rules—until she risks breaking her heart
Constantly stifled by the rules of Society, spirited Rebecca Rowley enjoys finding ways to quietly—or not so quietly—rebel. But riding bareback and avoiding nosy neighbors are nothing compared to the thrilling secret she is keeping from her family.
When Rebecca’s quick thinking saves the
life of a young girl, she unwittingly attracts the attention of the
child’s dashing brother, Lieutenant Nicholas Avery. As that attention
turns flirtatious, Rebecca is forced to tell him the truth: she is
secretly engaged—to the one man her family would never approve of.
Fortunately, Lieutenant Avery is a navy man with no wish to marry, or so
they both assume as they enter into a friendship. Rebecca hopes to
change her family’s mind about her betrothed, but the more she comes to
know the handsome lieutenant, the more she wonders if she promised her
hand too hastily.
After all her carefully laid plans are shattered during a family crisis, Rebecca must force her heart to decide. Should she stay true to the promise she made or fight for the future she’s only just begun to imagine?
My Review
I admired Rebecca's independent spirit and even though I found her little and not-so-little ways of rebelling often immature or thoughtless, the author soon showed us her deeper layers as she became acquainted with Nicholas and a natural friendship developed amid humorous situations, witty banter, and dynamic chemistry. I didn't care for Rebecca's deception (but I also had parents who answered my questions) and Rebecca's frustration grew each time her inquiries were turned aside. A love triangle and misunderstanding create complications that force Rebecca to face some realizations and make decisions that will direct her future happiness. A sweet, slow-burn romance with a satisfying ending!
