Description:
An officer in East
India, Matthew has made a life away from England. When Matthew returns
home, he begins a new life - with Imogen. But he's torn - the blistering
heat of India will wilt his English rose, unless he can vanquish his
demons and find his home at last with her...
Review...Abandoned by his father after his mother died giving birth to him, Matt Beresford spent a lonely childhood in England while his father remained in India. Upon reaching adulthood, Matt confronted his father who had returned to England, and was rejected again. However, Sir Matthew was able to provide his son with a useful contact at the East India Company and Matt traveled back to India where he has lived for the last nine years. Now he has come back to England to sort out the difficulties of his late father's will. It seems that unbeknowst to Matt, his father had remarried and had a second family which includes a son. Matt arrives to find a decaying estate, a corrupt estate agent and a family in turmoil. The backbone of the family is Miss Imogene Priestley, the niece of Matt's stepmother, who has given her personal fortune to save the family from ruin. Misunderstandings occur and Imo and Matt get off on the wrong foot. Sparks fly quickly and the pair continually argue with each other, though everyone can see that the pair are attracted to one another. Matt and Imo both have to overcome the past and set aside prejudices to help the Beresford family and discover how much they mean to one another. This is another copycat Pride and Prejudice done wrong. The book is a little lengthy but more time could have been spent in developing the characters. As it stands, all of the characters are stereotypical and the plot is cliched and predictable. The book isn't terrible but it isn't great either. For those keeping track, it's a clean read. There is some kissing and brief passages of how the characters feel, but nothing too bad.
