Brighton, England, 1813
When a romantic entanglement leaves her humiliated and
reeling, Anna Lane wants nothing more than for her father to whisk her
away from the gossip of the ton. Unfortunately, he has obligations
elsewhere, leaving her stuck in London.
Graham Everett’s
financial security depends on an investment with Mr. Lane, his long-time
friend and business partner. He’ll do just about anything to secure it
for his family, even if it means fighting spoiled, embittered Anna for
her father’s attention.
Luckily, Mr. Lane concocts a plan that
will give everyone what they wat, with one stipulation: Anna must
accompany Graham to Brighton in her father’s stead and make a decision
to invest—or not—based on a thorough report.
But it will take
more than a day at the beach for these two headstrong hearts to admit
that they’ve been wrong about each other. If they are willing to invest a
little time working out their differences, they might have a chance at
real love.
My Review: 9/10
Oh I loved this book. I loved anna and graham, individually and together. My heart broke for anna early on. And then graham. I felt loyal to them both. This book had me laughing as often as it had me sighing and wincing - it felt like I’d highlighted/reacted to/noted and bookmarked every other page. Megan Walker gets every emotion exactly right, and it’s so exquisitely written that I can’t wait to go back and experience it again.
