No, he’s not a little boy, he’s a man but a man who likes to play the hero, and takes his responsibilities, the upkeep of an estate in London and another in the Lake District, and all the people employed as serious business indeed.īut Bonnie goes back to merry old England after she dumps the fiance and accepts a summer teaching position at Cambridge. Theo’s mother is on the job, matchmaking with a single-minded purpose and Theo feels obligated to do as she says. And just like the historical romances I read, the best way to get that cash is to marry rich. Theo is a Duke, and one with an estate that is in serious need of a cash infusion. She forced those feelings down and went about her vacation, trying hard to forget about the man they dubbed a Prince. Yet when Bonnie met Theo while on vacation in Great Britain, she was instantly attracted. She was engaged to the only man she ever was with, they met as young children and were together for most of their lives. She was introduced in the first book so I knew a bit of her backstory. I loved Bonnie, we share a love of Anne of Green Gables, Jane Austen and Shakespeare – she’s my kind of people. This second book of the series is maybe a bit better than the first, so let’s just say I loved them both. Will Bonnie have the courage to risk her heart and turn the page with the dashing Brit to find her true happy ending after all? Just as Bonnie begins to believe she’s falling in love, an eye-opening revelation into Theo’s life makes Bonnie feel like she’s wandered into one of her favorite books. When fate places Bonnie in England for a summer―conveniently close to Theo―she realizes a hot friends-with-benefits fling is exactly what she needs to start a fresh chapter. With his brilliant blue eyes, sexy accent, and irresistible charm, Theo Wharton is like a romantic hero straight out of a Jane Austen novel.

But the plot thickens when a brand-new character enters the scene―and quickens Bonnie’s heart. So when a shocking discovery leads Bonnie to end her engagement, she decides to close the book on love. English professor Bonnie Blythe expects her life to play out like her favorite novels, especially now that her long-term boyfriend has finally proposed.
