BOOK SUMMARY
She Can't Forget Him…
Jane Charlotte Danes has loved the
squire of her idyllic country town for as long as she can remember. He is good,
kind, and alluring beyond words… and he chose to marry another. Tired of
dwelling on her futile longings, Jane plans a move to Bath, where she dreams of
a new beginning. But the man who has so imprisoned her heart is only a few
steps behind…
He Can't Let Her Go…
Until now, Matthew Cleaves has
endeavored to meet the responsibilities of his position with dignity and good
spirits--including his dutiful marriage. But when his wife leaves him for
another man, Matthew is at last free to pursue his one true love. Only one
vital question remains: will the captivating, stubborn, beautiful Jane allow
him the challenge, and the pleasure, of winning her back?..

EXCERPT
Jane’s heart
ached to see such deep anguish in his gaze. There was no rage, no anger, not
even a trace of the moroseness she had seen so many times in his eyes during
the preceding months. He stood in front of her as the true, loyal, and honest
man she’d always loved and admired.
All the
months she fought her feelings for him and now he wished to be with her. Tears
escaped and rolled over her cheeks. He brushed his thumbs under her eyes, and
it took every ounce of her strength not to collapse against him and damn the
right and wrong of her yearning.
“Jane, please
understand how hard it is for me to see you cry and not fix things to be with
you overnight. What is starting between us, what I am feeling, cannot be
ignored.”
Jane took a
strengthening breath. “I am not the same woman I was a year, even six months
ago, Matthew. I’ve changed. You’ve changed. Neither of us should rush headlong
into the idea of us being together when there are so many other people
involved.”
He frowned.
“Like Elizabeth?”
She nodded.
“And the villagers. And for me, the children at the boardinghouse. I can’t stop
my dream to do good now that I have found the courage to pursue it.”
“Everything
will work out. I will ensure it.”
He smiled
softly, the gentle determination in his gaze seeping deep inside her until
impassioned hope squeezed like a vise around her weakening heart.
He brushed
the curls from her temple and pressed his lips to her forehead. “I have been
blind. My sense of pride and loyalty to my father, a man who thought of me as
little more than a cog in his ambitious wheel, has meant I wasted two years
with a woman I tried hard to make happy. I refuse to waste any more of my
life.”
CAT'S REVIEW
"Her One True Love" by Rachel Brimble. I enjoyed this historical tale of love and growth. Jane and Matthew - at times, they frustrated the heck out of me and other times, my heart swelled and I adored them both. Jane is finally realizing what she needs to make her happy - I admired her strength and courage to pursue her dream of helping children, even if it was a second to loving Matthew. Matthew, he was so lost. His failed marriage did a number on him and, being a guy, was totally clueless to Jane's feelings. I enjoyed their journey and seeing each come into their own and recognize their true inner beings. The secondary characters were enjoyable as well and added depth to the story too. The pace moves along, not too fast but not too slow, and I always enjoy when the writing style depicts both characters' POV's. I would recommend this tale of love, friendship and self awareness. (received copy from NetGalley for honest review).
