MY REVIEW:
This was one of those books, you know the
ones, that you start reading and you just get engulfed in it. The characters Abby Forester, is a college
student and shop owner of vinyl recorders.
Her father left her a half owner of it.
She is just a young, lonely, romantic girl trying to get by.
You see her mother passed when she was
younger and her father always felt somewhat guilty never giving her another
mother. So, he hastily brought an evil
lady to their lives. She may have had
bloodline but she had no culture no morals.
Luckily, he never married her but he did give her half of the business. But she had Raify to help her handle the
burdens of each day with Kendra.
So, when her father fell ill she quit
school to care for him and this evil woman was nowhere to be found except when
she came by to tell him he was lazy and to take money from the till. Then, of course, when she had to show the
public she was the mourning girlfriend at the funeral needing assistance to
walk and everything.
When one night she goes to help her friend
Tommy at his bar who was shorthanded and an ex-classmate is there with a
friend. She disliked Will a lot. Wanted to avoid his table at all cost he
thought he could buy his way through life.
Not her. But his friend she
couldn’t seem to stop eyeing.
Now this guy, Lord Edmond Rushwood, he had
money, looks, and tons of the women in the bar dropping off their numbers to
him. When she gets back up to the bar
she’s told one of the waitresses is on a break and needs to go to their
table. She says, NO! Tommy says, Yes! So, she goes.
She ignores Will and engages Edmond who
right away starts flirting. The way she
and he banter is titillating for both of them.
After a while, Will makes his presence known when she goes to get their
drinks he tells Edmond to let it go she is not worth the effort. And that he won’t get first base. That was like flying the red flag in front of
a bull.
You
see Edmond was in the states to find a wealthy wife to marry and one with a
good bloodline. He needed one per his
father's will. All before his 26th
birthday in three months. As the evening
went on he became more intrigued with Abby.
But Will kept him focused.
Then Will came up with having him be on
the game show he hosted but for him, they could change the name to “Love
Bachelor” who finds a bride. All through
this, he can’t stop thinking of Abby.
Then there is an altercation at the bar between a rugby player and Abby
and Edmond goes to help. He gets her out
of the way. She likes it but she
doesn’t. Which only wins him over
more. To the point of tracking her down.
This is a modern-day fairy tale. So, cute.
Well played out. Abby’s character
was under no delusions but wanted to keep hope and sometimes it worked and
sometimes it didn’t. She wanted to
believe that romance existed. Edmond
surprised me is all I am going to say. I
give this book: 5 stars. Provided by
