He vows to never risk his heart again. She hides her love to avoid rejection. A marriage of convenience is not what either of them wished for.

Overlooked by society and underappreciated in her family, Ellen Bringhurst has resigned herself to spinsterhood and a life of reading. Until her match-making friends contrive to reintroduce Ellen to the man she has secretly loved since their shared childhood.

As the younger son to an earl, Marcus Calvert must wed in order to inherit his estate. Still nursing a broken heart, he prefers a practical approach to matrimony rather than romantic love. When Ellen is presented as a possible bride, he proposes a marriage of convenience.

Ellen accepts his hand, hiding her feelings rather than risking her husband's rejection. Marcus, though determined not to expose his heart again, finds more to admire in his childhood friend with each passing day. What began as a sensible arrangement now has the possibility to become so much more. But is Marcus willing to risk his heart a second time?

Although the story ends up somewhat predictable, their developing relationship was surprisingly suspensful and quite moving. The length of time it took them to recognize their mutual love seemed a little unrealistic. However, I was able to suspend reality enough to thoroughly enjoy the slow-burn, emotionally-stirring romance. Entertainment value = five stars!

Very Enjoyable Romance!

Love this author!

I love the writing style and purity of this book (& the whole series!) but this particular story is a little dragged out. The lead character is overly blind to her lovers attempts to make his true and pure love for her known. Yes they both wisely guard their hearts to not get hurt initially, but some of the super obvious and sweet things he does for her is such strong evidence he loves her, that when she still doubts I could have smacked her in the head and say “wake up lady! He loves you!” lol. But other than the density of the main character, it’s a cute and entertaining story. Out of the many books of this type genre I’ve read and listened to, Sally Britton style and level of purity in her characters is one of my favorites! I’d recommend her books.

Cute, clean, just a little drawn out

I will always love you

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Overlooked by society and underappreciated in her family, Ellen Bringhurst has resigned herself to spinsterhood and a life of reading. Until her match-making friends contrive to reintroduce Ellen to the man she has secretly loved since their shared childhood.

As the younger son to an earl, Marcus Calvert must wed in order to inherit his estate. Still nursing a broken heart, he prefers a practical approach to matrimony rather than romantic love. When Ellen is presented as a possible bride, he proposes a marriage of convenience.

Ellen accepts his hand, hiding her feelings rather than risking her husband’s rejection. Marcus, though determined not to expose his heart again, finds more to admire in his childhood friend with each passing day. What began as a sensible arrangement now has the possibility to become so much more. But is Marcus willing to risk his heart a second time?

MY TAKE
This was a bit of a tough read. I thought Ellen was a stronger character than she turned out to be. At first, there were memories of when they were younger and were friends. But then they both threw up walls that really began to wear on me. Later in the book, Marcus's brother makes a suggestion on how to fix things between them, making an excellent point that they had not idea how much time they might have. I expected him to court her. But Marcus does nothing. When he does try to talk to Ellen, she pushes doesn't give him a chance. It's something a simple conversation would have remedied. Some misunderstanding I could handle, but this just went too long.

Okay

The plot was uneventful. It wasn't boring, but had it been a book I actually read rather than listened to, I probably would not have finished it.

This was really good and very clean. I really appreciate that. They seem to be getting more and more iffy on the clean romance issue. The story was sweet and enjoyable.

Loved this book!

Good story and writing. The narrator did a good job overall but Ellen’s voice was too monotone. She should have had more life in it to be more realistic.

Enjoyable live story

One of my favorites
