Julia Alston-Vale is single and lives with her young niece
Nicole. Julia is used to having her own way, is super rich and quite frankly
isn’t very nice to people.
Theodora Greyson, (Teddy) her husband Edward and their son
Sebastian had recently moved into an adjoining estate to Julia.
When Julia and Teddy meet, there is an immediate attraction
between them. Teddy is quite baffled as to her feelings. Julia knows exactly
what she feels though. The two women, although attracted to one another, are far
from firm friends to begin with. When they do become friends eventually, their
journey is filled with anguish, pain, highs and lows of emotions and a profound
love that will rock the very core of them both and change their lives
forever.
Another well written page turner from S. Anne Gardner. As with
the other books of hers I’ve read, I got into the story right from the first
page and was hooked right the way through.
The two main characters, Julia and Teddy are both multifaceted
and interact well together. They are joined by a great cast of secondary
characters essential to the progression of this tumultuous, turbulent story
through to it’s ending. There are many twists and turns along the way, which
kept me reading right the way through until I’d finished. This book left me
wanting more than I actually got. It simply ended far too soon for me. I loved
these characters. Days after I finished the book, I was still thinking about
them.
This is more than a romance, much more. There are deep, dark
secrets hidden away and when they are unleashed, they almost cause the death of
someone. We learn that families are not always what they seem to be on the
surface.
There are some great scenic descriptions, so it was easy to
coast along with the characters and become immersed in the story with them.
I would like to have a sequel to this, so I can see how Julia,
Teddy and their family live their lives after their return from
Spain.
