My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6343786812″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
An immensely well written historical contemporary romance with a dark undercurrent.<br />Payden returns to Philadelphia after a very disturbing and violent 5 year return to Scotland, he is withdrawn and sullen. Clarice is finding society life very underwhelming and struggles to dodge the wranglings of her mother, of marrying a gentleman and increasing their standing in society. Their relationship has its ups and downs, but their chemistry is undeniable.<br />The author describes the scenes so vividly that it is easy to really imagine you are part of the story. <br />I did not realise that this novel is in a series, it really stands strongly on its own, but I am going to backtrack to get a fuller all round vision of the family and past happenings.<br /><br />
