I always like reading a story about forgiveness. Though she handles them a lot more extremely than I do.

Sarah’s emotions were written as very raw and on point to the tragedy she was going through. I am going through a similar situation to Sarah, and to read it happening and then her emotions has been difficult. I can’t go into detail because I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I will just say that this was an incredibly hard book to read right now. Then the way he manipulates people is abominable. His father was unforgiving of an accident and held onto that grudge for years. Most of the time he came across as a really good guy who was trying to do better. While we see James being disrespectful to Sarah, we never see him at his lowest point, so it seemed a little easier to be forgiving. To pay off a debt, he is forced into a marriage of convenience with his sister’s friend Sarah Drayton. I always like when characters are imperfect because it is more realistic, and I enjoy seeing their growth throughout the story.Īfter his father blames him for his mother’s death, James Langley struggles with drinking and gambling.

War is raging and he wants only distraction, not serious tethers. When James Langley returns to his family’s estate, he can’t be bothered to pay attention to his responsibilities as the heir. Yet she finds herself being inveigled into a marriage of convenience with her friend’s rakish brother.
