Historical romance/to review






This one had some darker themes. More reality.




Harry has bought an estate. He is bastard born, but has contact with his father´s family (long story there too.) He sees a woman in the rain and just can´t forget her.




Helen has had it tough. She is an Earl´s daughter, but her dad has gambled away all the money and sold their house. She was also raped and gave birth to a daughter that was taken from her. She has a lot of trauma to deal with and a daughter to find.




She comes to her old house and he is there.  He is fascinated by her and thinks she is too good for him. She obviously has her trauma and can not see that a good man like him wants her.




I wanted the best for these two. He has his own share of trauma growing up a bastard, and she has her own. But they work through it and get to know each other.




There is also a sidestory that seemed to come out of nowhere where a friend of his has his own lovestory in this book. That is a calmer one that gets a happy ending too.




A good love story with more depth.




I felt this narrator fit the story well. She had her voices and I was always there with them in the story





Harry Morant's tough exterior hides a badly scarred heart. The natural son of an earl, high-born ladies have only one use for him—in the bedchamber. Now, after eight years at war, Harry is breeding racehorses and planning a practical, unemotional marriage. But when he buys a new estate, his careful plans are threatened by an unexpected passion for—of all things—an earl's daughter.

  1. It does sound like there are some darker themes in this one! But I'm definitely not against that. I usually like more of a reality check in my romances anyhow.
