Marcus Sinclair has turned into a bit of a recluse since his rash decision led to his accident but with the beautiful Emma now in his household to tutor his friends young daughters, he finds it hard to resist her. But now, with her current situation looking so bleak, Caroline devises a slightly far fetched plan to send Emma to Marcus' home and Emma gradually starts to realize that maybe those feelings do not need to stay buried, perhaps they are actually returned. However, circumstances make Emma believe that Marcus truly loved her sister and is a bit heartbroken by the whole ordeal so she just keeps all her feeling inside and doesn't see Marcus for a few years. A terrible accident occurs and it leaves Marcus with many disfigurements and it causes her sister to cry off the wedding. But when Marcus became engaged to her sister, she put her feeling aside and put on a brave face. Emma and Caroline, along with Marcus' sister Olivia, grew up together and Emma has loved Marcus since she was a young girl. Emma knows that this knowledge is false but her sister sees no reason to believe her so Emma must go to her friend Caroline, who is Marcus' cousin. When Emma Green is tossed out of her sisters home one evening for reasons that are beyond her control, she is left with nothing but the clothes on her back and her reticule and the hurtful, snide remark from her cold-hearted sister to go her supposed protector, Marcus Sinclair, Earl of Sinclair. I really do love the way this author writes!

Also very eager to read the American set ones after more talk of there in this one. I'm super conflicted as to whether I should go back and read the series that all came before this one and then continue this, or continue this one so I can finally get to Drakely! I'll probably continue hehe.

Yes it's very predictable, but it was full of emotion and I couldn't put it down. He however pushes her away because he thinks she deserves better. There's proper wording and phrases used for the time period, enough so that it feels authentic, but it's not written in the classic style that I find so hard to read!īasically, they've known each other since childhood and he was engaged to her sister (he proposed very young and then realised what a horrid person she was) and when the sister runs off to be with her now husband, he's injured racing after her to make her see sense when he's dragged behind his horse after he falls off.Įmma struggles to prove to him that she loves him, and convince him that she'll be happy with someone like him.

But I enjoy this series so much! It's not written like a normal historical or classic historical I guess.

I'm never one to really pick up a historical romance, ever.
