For the first time
since the death of his wife, the Duke of Stanbrook is considering
remarrying and finally embracing happiness for himself. With that
thought comes the treasured image of a woman he met briefly a year ago
and never saw again.
Dora Debbins relinquished all hope to marry when a family scandal
left her in charge of her younger sister. Earning a modest living as a
music teacher, she’s left with only an unfulfilled dream. Then one
afternoon, an unexpected visitor makes it come true.
For both George and Dora that brief first encounter was as fleeting
as it was unforgettable. Now is the time for a second chance. And while
even true love comes with a risk, who are two dreamers to argue with
destiny?
Review
The man who held them all together, George, the duke of Stanbrook, gets his well-deserved happily ever after. The lucky woman? Agnes‘s older sister, Dora, a 39-year-old spinster who definitely deserves George as much as he deserved her. It was an endearing to watch them be practical and refined even as they’re fighting the giddiness that comes with falling in love.
There’s romance, scandals, revelations, reconciliations and moments that made me cry. In the series, George seem to be the most boring of the Survivors, but that was just the mask he hid behind. It’s definitely not a story to be missed. The epilogue was a fantastic way to close out not just the book but the series. 5 out of 5 stars.
